BJP national women's wing leader and Coimbatore South MLA Vanathi Srinivasan inaugurated a special sale on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti at the Khadi Bhavan market in Coimbatore Town Hall area.



Earlier in the day, he paid floral tributes to the portraits of Mahatma Gandhi and former CM and Congress icon Kamaraj at the Khadi Bhavan outlet.



Subsequently, she visited handloom khadi garments, silk sarees and handicrafts.



Speaking to reporters after this, she said, “In Tamil Nadu, we have to buy goods, sarvodaya products and khadi products manufactured in local areas across the country.

Through this, local products will be developed and locally manufactured products will be available. In recognition of them, the Prime Minister of India uses 'Vocal for Local' wherever he goes. Modi ji should give importance to the goods of our village," she said. Local goods depend on the village economy. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced that swadeshi products that can be made in our country should be purchased during the festival days.

Everyone goes to khadi shops and buys their favourites. We have been buying goods from the khadi shop of Sarvodaya Sangha, which has been around for 60 years in coimbatore town hall area. They are also offering a 40% discount. The sale of khadi has increased from Rs 33,000 crore to Rs 1,34,000 crore in nine years.

Supporting products and local products that can be made in India creates a unique market for Indian goods in the list of countries of the world and ensures the progress of the country.

Modi also gifted all the guests at the G20 summit the items available in their respective areas as per the traditional customs of our country. Even when he went to foreign countries, he gifted the leaders there with handicrafts available in our country. To a question about the Delhi trip, he said, "The trip to Delhi was great. A meeting of the Central Election Committee was held. The meeting was attended by the party's national leadership and important leaders. It was great.

P Chidambaram has been speaking on the 33 per cent bill from the Congress mentality. It was Prime Minister Modi who brought it. He can do whatever he says. It should not be assumed that they will not be able to say like in the Congress era. Women's rights will be given strictly.

To a question on the ongoing sale of liquor on two-wheelers, she said strict action should be taken against them. The police should take action without any hesitation. To a question on the alliance, she said that the meeting was held where candidates could be selected for the Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan elections. Only the programmes and programmes to be done by the BJP during the elections in the two states were discussed.

When asked about OPS joining the BJP, she said, "I am not aware of it. The Union Finance Minister will attend various programmes in Coimbatore tomorrow. In the morning, she will participate in the Swachh Bharat Programme at Peelamedu. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will attend an event to provide loan assistance of over Rs 3,500 crore.”
