New Delhi: BJP leader and Union Minister Smriti Irani has questioned whether Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is confident in seeking the mandate from the Amethi Lok Sabha constituency in Uttar Pradesh. Smriti Irani’s question comes in the context of the statement made on this matter by Congress leader Ajay Rai of Uttar Pradesh. Smriti Irani became MP and Union Minister after defeating Rahul Gandhi in Amethi in the latest Lok Sabha election. Ajay Rai’s anti-feminist remark that Smriti Irani was ignoring the constituency was controversial. Irani’s question of whether he will contest Amethi in the 2024 election points to this reference.
“Rahul Gandhi, I heard from one of your local leaders that you have announced that you will seek the seat from Amethi in the Lok Sabha elections 2024. Can I assure you that you will also be there to contest Amethi this time? You won’t be contesting for a second this time place? Isn’t there fear in this matter? One more thing: find new people to write speeches for you and your mother’s misogynistic thugs,” tweeted Smriti Irani.
‘Amethi is the seat of the Gandhi family. Rahul Gandhi was elected as the people’s representative from there. Rajiv Gandhi and Sanjay Gandhi served as Amethi MPs. Most of the Amethi factories are on the verge of closure. Half of the factories in the’ industrial area of Jagdishpur are closed” – Ajay Rai made a strong misogynistic remark against Smriti Irani along with this statement.
At the same time, the BJP criticized the local leader’s statement as completely embarrassing for the Congress, which gave the country its first female prime minister and has long been led by a woman.
“Most of the language used by Congress is quite anti-feminist. This shows the culture and mentality of Congress. This remark is absolutely shameful for Congress, which gave the country its first female prime minister and was led by a woman for a long time,” said Anand Dubey, spokesman for the BJP in Uttar Pradesh.
