| Bid adieu to ‘missing MP’, Smriti Irani asks Amethi voters, offers sugar at Rs 13 a kg as deal sweetener | | |
Amethi
Union Textiles Minister Smriti Irani, pitted against Congress president Rahul Gandhi at his home turf here, Sunday appealed to voters to give farewell to their neither-seen-nor-heard, “missing MP”.
Addressing an election meeting in Dharai under Amethi assembly segment, Irani exhorted voters to bid adieu to their MP, saying give “bidai” (farewell) to the “namdar” and send a “kamal” (lotus- BJP poll symbol) to New Delhi from Amethi this time.
Talking on development, Irani said despite Rahul Gandhi consistently “abusing” Prime Minister Narendra Modi and calling him a “chor” (thief), the prime minister has never discriminated against the development of Amethi.
The textiles minister also sought to sweeten her appeal with a promise to Amethi voters on behalf of the prime minister to get sugar at Rs 13 a kg on the BJP coming to power again in the Centre.
Attacking Gandhi, Irani said, “The missing MP comes here once in five years when the nomination papers have to be filed. Had it not been mandatory to personally file the papers, he would not have come here (at all).”
Alleging that Gandhi has not even used his MPLAD fund on development of Amethi in the last 15 years she said, “I am sure the leader who is neither seen here nor heard in the Parliament will surely be given a farewell this time.”
“I have come with a message of Modiji. He has asked you all to strengthen the BJP and on (the BJP) coming to power, get sugar at Rs 13 a kilo,” she said, adding the sweetener.
Talking on the issue of Amethi’s development, she said, “Rahul Gandhi abuses the prime minister branding him chor but Modiji has never discriminated against Amethi on the issue of development.”
