Union Minister of Women and Child Development Smriti Irani came down heavily on the Congress for its anti-national policies. Addressing an impressive gathering at the MP Resort, here today, in support of the BJP candidate from Sri Anandpur Sahib, Dr. Subhash Sharma, the firebrand BJP leader strongly condemned the Congress and its party leaders for their love and concern for enemy country Pakistan. Substantiating her claims, Irani said, “A Congress leader says that Pakistani terrorists were not responsible for killing our brave policemen. Their CM asks for proof of surgical strikes even after five years. Another senior leader says that India should be careful as Pakistan has nuclear bombs. Can anyone accept these utterances made by the Congress leaders in the election campaign?”
Taking Rahul Gandhi to task, Irani, who had defeated Rahul in the last Lok Sabha election from Amethi, said that it was a matter of immense shame that he gave a ticket to the kingpin of the Tukde Tukde Gang Kanhaiya Kumar from North East Delhi. Pointing out that it was Congress that divided the Punjab way back in 1966, Irani said that now, this party (Congress) is supporting anti-national people and hell-bent upon dividing the country, while adding, “Congress wanted to see the repetition of the partition and want our mother, sisters and daughters to again experience the same trauma. This is highly condemnable.”
While attacking the AAP Government on the liquor scam, Irani accused Kejriwal & Co. of being neck-deep in corruption. She also raised the matter of the Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal terming it as a blot on the face of the AAP government, particularly the Chief Minister of Delhi. In her speech, she also highlighted the contribution of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in making efforts for the betterment of the farmers, and road-railway infrastructure besides helping the underprivileged through the free ration being given to 80 crore Indians.
The Union Minister asserted that the Sangathan (Organisation) is the biggest strength of the BJP. While appealing to all the party workers and the general public to vote for BJP candidate Dr.Subhash Sharma. She said, “The land of Sri Anandpur Sahib is sacred. I am extremely blessed to be here. She praised Garhshankar BJP leader Nimisha Mehta on the success of the rally.” During the rally, the people present there chanted the slogans of “Bharat Mata Ki Jai”, “Jai Shree Ram” and “Bole So Nihal” several times.
