Kanpur: Union minister of state Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti addressed a public meeting at Aanupur ground in Sajeti area of the district in support of the BJP candidate Upendra Paswan on Wednesday evening. Ghatampur assembly constituency of the district is slated to go for bypolls on November 3.
Niranjan attacked the opposition over their ‘Garibi hatao’ campaign. “Their Garibi hatao campaign is just a gimmick. They did nothing to remove poverty in their regimes, it’s only Prime Minister Narendra Modi who can understand the pain of the poor,” said Sadhvi said.
She praised CM Yogi Adityanath for ‘changing the colour of uniform of basic school students’.
“Earlier, the children used to wear khaki dress, which resembled uniform of a peon rather than that of a school student. Now, you see these uniforms. They are because of CM Yogi,” said the minister further.
She also attacked Congress for spreading lies and misleading farmers and stated that the BJP will get votes in the upcoming byelections on the basis of the farmer’s Bills.
Niranjan pleaded people and said that once again they should vote BJP in the upcoming bypoll which will be their true tribute to late minister Kamal Rani Varun.
The seat fell vacant after the death of state minister Kamal Rani Varun (62). She had been undergoing treatment at SGPGI, Lucknow. Varun had tested positive for Covid-19 on 18 July. She died on August 2 due to complications brought on by the disease.
