Amethi (Uttar Pradesh): BJP leader and Union Minister Smriti Irani on Saturday asserted that farmers have understood the "injustice" done to them over the years by the "naamdar" Congress government.
Addressing a public meeting in Salon block here, she said: "Over the years, people of this block here have understood the injustice done to them by the 'naamdar' [dynast] government and now they are giving chance to our 'kaamdar' Bharatiya Janata Party."
"For the first time, you have a roof over your head and toilets in your homes. This would not have been possible if it were not for the son of a poor mother itself," she said, referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Urging people to vote for the BJP, Irani said: "People must vote for the son a poor mother, who has deposited Rs 6,000 in your bank accounts under the PM-Kisan scheme and supplied LPG cylinders to your houses under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana."
