Patel was addressing the workers as the chief guest at Hariaudh Kala Kendra in Azamgarh today to strengthen the organization.

Talking to reporters after the program, she targeted the opposition, saying that if the opposition speaks the language of anti-India forces, then it is very unfortunate for the country. She described Operation Sindoor as the clear goal of the government and the army role against terrorism which they have successfully completed.

She said that the central government is constantly working towards making the farmers self-reliant by 2047and Kisan Samman Nidhi is a part of that.

“Today, the Prime Minister has released the 20th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, under which 9 crore 70 lakh farmers of the country have benefited. Out of this, 2.5 crore farmers are from Uttar Pradesh only. With this amount, they can buy fertilizers, seeds and other agricultural materials,” she said while adding that the government is working in a planned manner to make the farmers prosperous and self-reliant.

On the question of Panchayat elections, she said that the party is fully prepared for the Panchayat elections and the district committee has been formed. The hard-working workers of the party will be given full opportunity in the Panchayat elections.

On the question of fake voters, the Union minister replied to the journalists that, “Vote is the right of every citizen, but if there is a fake voter, then they should be removed from the voter list. At present the matter is in the court, so everyone should wait for the decision of the court. After the decision comes, everyone will get the answer”.

Regarding the recent comment on SP MP Dimple Yadav, she said that use of abusive language against anyone, be it a female MP or a common woman, is reprehensible and his party strongly condemns it.
