VARANASI: Attacking
Congress party, Union minister
Smriti Irani said that the family which ruled
Amethi for five decades never served the people of the constituency truly.
Addressing Bharatiya Janata Party’s ‘Prabuddh Varg Sammelan’ in City South assembly area on Saturday evening,
Irani said, “Prime Minister
Narendra Modi accelerated the pace of development in the country and made many impossible things possible, but the family which ruled for five decades could do nothing for the development of the people of Amethi.”
Highlighting the programmes and schemes of
BJP governments at Centre and state, she said the previous government used to make claims about development and making the country a world leader without caring about the pride and respect of the poor.
She praised the PM for caring for the needs of the poor on priority and providing toilets, drinking water and financial support to them. “During Covid-19 crisis, the PM ensured that no one goes to bed empty stomach and also arranged free vaccines for all,” Irani added.
Speaking on the occasion, UP minister of state (independent charge) for tourism and religious affairs and local MLA Neelkanth Tiwari said City South has become the centre of development in Varanasi and a lot of work has been done in the old city area.
