As the voting got underway for the fifth phase of the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, BJP MP and candidate from the Amethi Lok Sabha seat, Smriti Irani, cast her vote and appealed to the people to exercise their franchise.
‘Today it is my good fortune that I have cast my vote in my village, Gauriganj, with the resolve of a Viksit Bharat. I appeal to the people to cast their vote. It is our responsibility towards the future of our country’, said Smriti Irani after casting her vote.
Earlier, the Union Minister appealed to the voters of Amethi to come out in large numbers and support her party
“Your every vote will give new direction to the development of Amethi and provide new momentum to the work being carried out for the service of the people of Amethi. Be sure to exercise your right to vote for strong law and order at the local level, prosperity and progress of the area,” the Union Minister said in a post on X.
Smriti Irani who defeated former Congress President Rahul Gandhi in Amethi in 2019 is up against Gandhi family loyalist KL Sharma. Rahul Gandhi is contesting the election from Rae Bareli and Wayanad.
Congress leader and candidate from Amethi Lok Sabha constituency, Kishori Lal Sharma, said that the BJP should talk about issues such as inflation and unemployment, adding that people will vote according to what is on their minds.
Sharma said, “Whatever is in the minds of the people, they will vote according to it. When people start fighting, you cannot mislead them by making false promises. They need to talk about inflation, unemployment, and infrastructure. We have fought the election positively. The other day, Rahul Gandhi assured me of a result similar to that of Raebareli, and that gave me confidence.”
