12:54 pm: Priyanka: I'm not so far sighted. I implemented schemes in Amethi in order to provide employment to women and to empower them. But Rahulji widened the scope. He said, “Why are you being so limited?”
The outcome of the success of these schemes was because of his far sightedness. It's because of him that 12 lakh women have become self confident and self reliant. You know that your area has witnessed milk revolution. Rahulji placed 3o chilling plants here. Now milk is available in every household.
12:51 pm: Priyanka: Rajiv Gandhi was far – sighted. He thought on ways to connect Amethi to the world, so that after he has gone then too his place is comfortable and excelling. That is when he brought Avionics Division of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and many such projects in Amethi.
But this work had been done over 20 years back. Even Rahulji is like is father. He is far sighted. Many people come here. Many election aspirants come here say that there is no electricity and the roads are in pathetic shape. They fail to understand that if there are any shortcomings there are because of some genuine reasons.
