‘Nehru Said Garibi Hatao, Vadra Kids Will Also Say so, Won’t Get it Done’
While all of BJP leaders and their supporters have donned the mantle of ‘Chowkidaar’, the saffron party cannot help but bring up the role the Gandhi-Nehru family played in the country’s development. Speaking at a rally, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Dr Dinesh Sharma said, “Nehru ji had said ‘garibi hatao’, Indira ji had said ‘garibi hatao’, Rajiv ji had said ‘garibi hatao’, Sonia ji said ‘garibi hatao’. Her son said ‘garibi hatao’, now Vadra ji (Priyanka)will say ‘garibi hatao’. Then her children Miraya and Raihan will say’garibi hatao’.” “But was the poverty eliminated? It has been 70 years since Independence, for 3/4th of its duration, there was a Congress government (at the Centre). But poverty was not eliminated. Poor became poorer, the rich became richer. The poor were only exploited.” Meanwhile, Sharma doesn’t have too many kind words for the SP-BSP-RLD alliance either. While the parties left the Congress out and forged an alliance in UP, Sharma alleged that all three parties were working together.
