Amethi: Union Minister Smriti Irani, who came to Amethi on her Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, has challenged Rahul Gandhi to contest elections only from Amethi Lok Sabha seat. Describing Rahul Gandhi’s Nyaya Yatra as a flop show, he claimed that even Congress workers themselves did not participate in Rahul Gandhi’s yatra today. In such a situation, the question is that how can someone who himself needs support become a support for others?
The deserted streets of Amethi welcomed Rahul – Smriti Irani
Irani, who was on a four-day visit to her parliamentary constituency Amethi, targeted Rahul Gandhi while talking to reporters. He said that Rahul Gandhi has reached Amethi today (Monday) on a visit. He considered Amethi as the center of power, but did not serve it. This is the reason why he has been welcomed by the deserted streets of Amethi. Congress workers also did not participate in Rahul Gandhi’s visit. This is the reason why Congress had to call workers from Sultanpur and Pratapgarh.
He said that how can one who needs support himself become the support of others? Irani, who defeated Rahul from Amethi in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, also challenged him to contest the elections only from Amethi seat. She said that I challenge Rahul Gandhi to contest the elections only from Amethi Lok Sabha seat.
Rahul Gandhi was defeated in 2019
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, BJP candidate Irani defeated Rahul Gandhi, who was the MP from Amethi from 2004 to 2019. However, Rahul also contested from Wayanad seat in Kerala, from where he won. Taking aim at Rahul over the Congress leadership’s refusal to attend Ram Lalla’s consecration program in Ayodhya, Irani said that these are the same people who had rejected the invitation to Ram Lalla (consecration program in Ayodhya). The citizens of Amethi are distressed by this. This is the reason why today when Rahul Gandhi has come to Amethi, he has not got the support of the people here.
Now Gandhi family fled from Rae Bareli – Irani
Pointing to former Congress President Sonia Gandhi’s announcement of not contesting elections from Rae Bareli and going to Rajya Sabha, he said that in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Amethi made changes and sent this family away from here. This is the reason why this family also escaped from Rae Bareli in 2024.
Since independence till 2014, only Rs 500 crore was invested in Amethi.
Irani claimed that since independence till 2014, only investment of Rs 500 crore had come into Amethi, but in the last 10 years, investment of Rs 6552 crore has been made in the district and 20 thousand people have also got jobs. Coincidentally, Irani and Rahul were in Amethi assembly constituency today. Irani, who was on a four-day visit to Amethi, participated in the Tikarmafi and Bhadar Jan Samvad program of Bhadar Development Block and also warned the Lekhpal to sit on strike on the complaint of a villager.
Smriti Irani reprimanded the officer
During the public hearing in Tikarmafi, Smriti Irani strongly reprimanded the accountant Sudhanshu Srivastava in a case of illegal occupation of land and asked the accountant to remove the illegal occupation within half an hour. She said that if this does not happen then she will sit on strike.
