Sultanpur: A day after Maneka Gandhi was caught on camera asking Muslim voters to barter their vote for jobs, she has announced an ‘ABCD’ grading system to classify voters and accordingly reward them after elections. According to Maneka, those villages which cast 80 per cent votes for the BJP will be in category ‘A’. Those which cast 60 per cent votes will be category ‘B’. Those villages in which Maneka loses and record less than 50 per cent votes will come in category ‘C’. Finally come those villages, which record less than 30 per cent votes in her favour; they will be in category ‘D’.
As per the grading system, the villages will be prioritised for developmental work based on the category they fall in, reports India Today.com. ‘‘So, when the development work begins, 80 per cent of the schemes will cater to category ‘A’ villages.’’ In other words, those in category ‘D’ or at the bottom of the barrel will be left with the crumbs. Maneka said that they had implemented this grading system in Pilibhit as well.
She further shared a phone number with the crowd and said that they could talk to her directly. Her latest home-spun system for making voters accountable comes just a day after a video went viral on social media which showed Maneka telling a group of Muslims to vote for her in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, or else they would not receive any help when she is a Member of Parliament.Maneka was addressing a gathering in Uttar Pradesh’s Sultanpur, where she is contesting on a BJP ticket, adds India Today.com
