UP polls 2017: Dimple Yadav, wife of Uttar Pradesh chief minster Akhilesh Yadav on Monday took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in spectacular fashion with a majestic Bollywood style. While addressing a political rally in Auraiya, Dimple taunted PM Modi with lyrics of a very famous song from a super hit 80’s films ‘Laawaris’. She said “Mere angne mein tumhara kya kaam hai.” (Here in my veranda (patio), what is your purpose – in effect, it means ‘keep out of my business’). This was a very old, but extremely popular song by Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan that still manages to move people. Further in her speech, Dimple urged the people to vote for Akhikesh Yadav in order to see more development in the state. Dimple, who is also an MP from Kannauj, wants the public to give Akhilesh another stint in power as the CM, saying he has always worked for the people of UP.
Clearly pleased with her initial statement and the reaction it elicited, Dimple waxed eloquent and said, “Jo hai naam wala, wahi to badnaam hai” (Those who are famous are the ones who are infamous). Further raising the ante against PM Modi, Dimple said that people do ‘Mann ki Baat’ for hours, but never do ‘Kaam ki Baat’ (Talk about work).
Earlier in her rally in Auraiya, Dimple took a straight shot at PM Modi and his demonetisation move, saying, it hurt farmers a lot and they had to bear the loss. She also said that women who used to save money without letting their husband know are now suffering as these currency notes have now been scrapped. She asked, “How will women get their money back? They will again have to start collecting the amount from zero”.
