According to sources it was stated that in response to the Prime Minister stating that he had given ‘TOP’ priority to farmers, expanding the acronym to mean tomato, onion and potato. Meanwhile Divya’s jibe drew a sharp reaction from the BJP which called it an ‘insult to the masses’.
Recently Modi was speaking at the Parivartana Yatra rally in Bengaluru when he coined the acronym ‘TOP’ to describe tomatoes, onion and potato. Modi said while delivering his speech “The farmers who grow vegetables and fruits like tomatoes, onions and potatoes are also top priority for us. Take T from tomato, O from Onion and P from Potato, you get TOP. We are starting ‘Operation Greens’ which help farmers produce the vegetables".
Accordingly operation Greens is a government initiative to improve living
condition of farmers and has also been announced in the Union Budget. Further
Parivartana Yatra Rally in Bengaluru on Sunday marked the end of a
series of rallies by the BJP in Karnataka spanning three months. Meanwhile the
rallies were organized to mobilize party workers and supporters before the
upcoming state assembly elections in Karnataka.
