BJP Only Inaugurates Projects Just Before Polls: Priyanka Gandhi On UP

UP elections 2022: Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said BJP government led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath only works for a select few people and has ignored farmers and small businesses

The BJP government is inaugurating big projects just ahead of elections in Uttar Pradesh and their intention is very clear, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra told NDTV today during a campaign stop.

"Why was Jewar airport inaugurated just before elections? They are in power for five years. Why didn't they inaugurate Jewar airport before? They kept it for the elections," Priyanka Gandhi said, referring to the project in UP's Gautam Buddh Nagar that was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in November last year, billed to become Asia's largest airport.

The Congress leader said the BJP government led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath only works for a select few people and has ignored farmers and small businesses. She pointed at the Union Budget as proof that nothing substantial was announced to help the poor and farmers.

She said the BJP has been raising issues that do not concern the people and ignoring important matters like unemployment.
