Addressing and interacting to the people of Amethi, extremely vocal and active these days general secretary of AICC Priyanka Gandhi, amid slogans of ,” Priyanka Gandhi Zindabad renting the air,” said

I am visiting various parts of Uttar Pradesh, especially the areas of Western UP these days.

Where ever I m going there is pain, trauma and distress all around.

The peasents are telling me with cries that they has to save/ protect their agricultural fields. They say that they are awake the whole night because stray animals are damaging their crops.

I went to Bhadohi, the poor workers involved in Carpet weaving are hapless n in pains. Their faces are grim with dustress.

They say they haven’t got employment during the last five years. Do you know how may youths/ people have become jobless during the last five years? she asks the crowd.

About fifty lakh people have lost employment n there jobs were diffused by those politicians who’d guaranteed you 2 crore jobs every year, obviously indicating towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

She added: I know, the people of Amethi are quite intelligent n passionate nare well aware as to who is betraying n befooling them.

You very well know who was establishing the food park n IIT in Amethi for you?

You know everything as to how much development the Congress party government n Rahulji has done for Amethi.

See how destructive are they( BJP). I will tell you an incident. One day while passing through Amethi they noticed a poster of Rahul Gandhi about construction of the Kendriya Vidhyalaya here.

They shamefully got it closed. If they are really bothered for the development of Amethi they should go for development even if it is being executed by their arch rival. How does it matter that who is doing the development. Afterall it’s for the well being of the people of Amethi she said.
