Vendor’s Video Sparks Controversy & Political Twist Over PM Modi Scheme. Learn more.
PM Modi Scheme: In a recent turn of events, the touching story of vegetable vendor Rameshwar has taken an unexpected political twist. The heartwarming video of Rameshwar sharing his hardships due to soaring vegetable prices went viral on social media, capturing the attention of many, including Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. However, the situation has escalated as BJP’s Amit Malviya shared a clip from a new interview where Rameshwar mentioned receiving free gas cylinders under Prime Minister Modi’s Ujjwala Yojana.
रामेश्वर जी को मोदी सरकार की तरफ़ से उज्ज्वला योजना के अन्तर्गत फ्री गैस सिलेण्डर मिला।
केजरीवाल सरकार की फ़्री बिजली और पानी का दावा खोखला निकला।
लेकिन इस सब के बीच, सिर्फ़ राहुल गांधी ने इनकी ग़रीबी का अपने राजनीतिक लाभ के लिए शोषण किया।

Malviya’s tweet claimed that Rameshwar had benefited from PM Modi’s scheme, but alleged that only Rahul Gandhi had exploited Rameshwar’s poverty for political gains. This statement drew criticism as it appeared to take Rameshwar’s words out of context. The full interview showed that Rameshwar’s sentiments were more nuanced.

In response to questions about whether Rahul Gandhi used him as a political tool, Rameshwar defended Gandhi, stating that he believed Gandhi wouldn’t exploit anyone for political gain.
देश को दो वर्गों में बांटा जा रहा है!
एक तरफ सत्ता संरक्षित ताकतवर लोग हैं जिनके इशारों पर देश की नीतियां बन रही हैं।
और दूसरी तरफ है आम हिंदुस्तानी, जिसकी पहुंच से सब्ज़ी जैसी बुनियादी चीज़ भी दूर होती जा रही है।

Two Indians engaging. No humbug. No drama. Sharing a meal @RahulGandhi & Rameshwar. When I saw Rameshwar bravely holding back tears saying he couldn’t afford to eat it haunted me. At least a leader bothered to hear him today pic.twitter.com/1BHdT9lQkk
