Bengaluru, Feb 4: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today redefined what he means by the term 'TOP' priority of the NDA government led by him. 

TOP means Tomato, Onion, and Potato, he said at a public rally to mark the culmination of Karnataka BJP's 'Parivarthana Yatra' that crisscrossed the entire state covering all the 224 assembly constituencies. Modi said, "Those growing vegetables and fruits are among our top priority. When I say TOP, I mean whichever part of the country you go, three vegetables are very much visible -- Tomato, Onion, and Potato." 

"That's why I call TOP Priority. T for Tomato, O for Onion and P for potato - that makes TOP priority." He explained that these three TOP staples found across the country symbolized his government's initiative called 'Operation Greens' to improve the living condition of farmers. 

Keeping these growers in mind, Operation Greens has been announced in the budget, he said. Just as AMUL enhanced farmers' income, Operation Greens would prove beneficial for vegetable growers, the Prime Minister said. 

He assured farmers that BJP state president B S Yeddyurappa would earmark Rs one lakh crore to improve the irrigation system in Karnataka if he becomes the Chief Minister after the assembly elections.

BJP is forcing to use EVM machine only to cheat indian voters.   No other country is using EVM whereas bjp only is forcing to use it and EC is acting like a puppet in the hands of bjp.   In case this continues, i dont think our democracy will survive and our nation will proceed toward dictatorship and this will destroy our nation.

PM jii... where is our 15Lakhs, its still not come to our bank account. Did you by mistake transfered everythig to Amith Shah & Arun jaitely? . We are all sure that your own people will ditch you in the coming election. You can only promise & roam around the world with Tax Payers money. I am sure BJP wil not come in power if the voting is done with Ballet papers. Japan dont use EVM machine? why the hell we are using the EVM which is made by Japan. You have cheated the indian public thru EVM machine & come into power. If Almighty is there he will show the truth. I dont know Why is EC not cancelling EVM machines??? Is BJP paid the EC for this blunder???
