Amethi, March 16 (HS). While talking to the media at Kali Maidan located in Visheshwarganj market under Sangrampur block of Amethi parliamentary constituency, Union Minister Smriti Irani targeted Rahul Gandhi.
He said that if you had considered the area as your family, you would have given it priority. If he had considered the area as his home, he would have at least stayed at his office. If the family had believed, they would have reached here during the Corona period and at least served the public. But Rahul Gandhi was not there even when the hour of sorrow came. Even then he was not there when the challenge came. When the couples came to India for the trip, they did not go to any office. He himself is distancing himself from his party and his workers, so why would anyone join him here.
The Union Minister further said that not only Amethi but the entire nation is ready to touch new heights of development. Bharatiya Janata Party will form a coalition government under the leadership of Narendra Modi. Amethi Lok Sabha constituency is the area which can present before the nation the difference between Namdar and Kamdar. It was Narendra Modi's resolve in these five years that we will do politics of change in Amethi. 1 lakh 8 thousand 62 families got houses for the first time in their life. 2 lakh 30 thousand women got gas cylinders at home in just 5 years. 3 lakh 80 thousand farmers got Rs 6000 Kisan Samman Nidhi in their bank accounts. More than three and a half lakh families are getting tap water.
For the first time, a medical college was established in Amethi in these 5 years. Construction of Dialysis Center for the first time, construction of Passport Center for the first time, construction of Soil Testing Laboratory. The question arises that if Kamdar Modi could do so much work in 5 years, then those people who were in power, both at the Center and in the state, were in power for years. Why did they deliberately not develop Amethi? Especially after losing the elections, why did he have the audacity to go to Wayanad and insult the people of Amethi? Does any person deprive his family of water and fuel? But to deprive the family of a toilet? When I came here for the first time as a public representative, more than 60% of the families did not have electricity in their homes. Someone keeps his family in darkness and lives in the light himself. So Amethi was deceived on the basis of emotions for years.
The Union Minister said that today the people of Amethi are asking whether Smriti Irani and the Bharatiya Janata Party can do so much development work in five years. Then Rahul Gandhi who had power at the Centre. His friend Akhilesh Yadav was in power in Uttar Pradesh, he had no lack of power. But service was not the aim, hence Amethi was kept deprived. Akhilesh knows that Rahul Gandhi has no support in Amethi. In the last assembly elections, Congress's deposits were forfeited in four out of the five assemblies of the parliamentary constituency. This is the public anger which has come out loud. Today we again humbly appeal to the public that this election is the biggest celebration of democracy. Today, voices have been raised from across the country and once again a lotus will blossom from the Modi government and Amethi. It is our resolve to equip democracy through Modi's government.
