New Delhi: Attacking both Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Union Minister Smriti Irani today claimed that what the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has achieved in the last 7 months the ‘grand old party' would have taken 60 years to do so, and accused the ‘newest party' of “running away” after being voted to power.
She was addressing an election rally at Yousuf Sarai in the Malviya Nagar constituency in support of BJP candidate Nandini Sharma.
Taking a dig at Congress, Irani said, “What we have done in 7 months, Congress could have done it in 60 years.”
“A well-know Congress leader had said that when one rupee travels from the top only 10-20 paisa reaches to the beneficiary at the bottom. But our PM has ensured that through Jan Dhan Yojana even the poorest and the most disadvantaged has a bank account… Till January 26, we have opened 12 crore accounts amounting to Rs 10,000 crore,” she said.
