Congress is a bag of false promises: Smriti Irani
New Delhi: BJP national secretary and popular actress Smriti Irani today addressed a large gathering of women voters at Uttam Nagar and Rajouri Garden in support of West Delhi parliamentary seat candidate Prof Jagdish Mukhi. She said the Bharatiya Janata Party always delivers on its promises. It has already given 33 per cent representation to women in its organization, marking a very positive beginning. The Congress, on the other hand, is not even ready to talk on the subject of reservation for women, even after being in power for five years at the Centre, she said.
Smt Irani said the Congress is sweating at the moment, and it’s not just because of the temperature – it is fast losing ground in these elections and there is palpable tension in the party because of it. The Congress is in power in Delhi for the second term now, but the pathetic power and water situation is making the public suffer endlessly. There is a public outcry over the situation now. She pointed out that the Uttam Nagar assembly seat has had a Congress MLA for the last 15 years, and yet he has been unable to provide drinkable water in most areas. On the other hand, the supply of cooking gas is also pathetic. Housewives have to wait for 20-25 days for the cylinders and are forced to buy cooking gas in the black market.
Smt Irani said women felt unsafe in Delhi these days. Remembering the murder of a woman journalist in Delhi, she pointed out that the Chief Minister had reacted to the incident by saying that women should not move out of their houses at night. Terming it as an unfortunate state of affairs, Smt Irani wondered how the Congress could ensure safety for women if its chief minister had such views.
In the last elections, the Congress had promised one crore jobs to the people, but what did it actually give? Crores were thrown out of jobs instead, she pointed out। It had promised to give reservation to women, but what did it give instead? Inflation and terror!
Smt Irani exhorted the people to vote against the false promises of the Congress and to support the candidature of Prof Jagdish Mukhi, who has always fulfilled his promises and brought development to his constituency. Smt. Prem Mukhi w/o Prof. Jagdish Mukhi welcomed Ms. Samriti Irani. Smt. Promilla Ghai, Shri J.P. Sharma, Shri Ashok Sharma, Smt. Vaishakha Sailani, Smt. Jayanti Thakur, Smt. Shashi Talwar, Smt Kiran Chopra, Smt. Renu Sharma, Smt. Mukul Aggarwal, Smt. Balbir kaur Dr. Meena Thakur also attended this function.
