New Delhi: Congress responded to Union Minister Smriti Irani who criticized Rahul Gandhi. Smriti criticized Swami Vivekananda for ignoring him when Rahul started the Bharat Jodo Yatra from Kanyakumari last week. This is why the Congress has come up with a befitting reply.
The Congress shared a video of Smriti giving a speech accusing Rahul of neglecting Swami Vivekananda and footage of Rahul paying respects in front of Vivekananda’s statue. This video has been shared by many Congress leaders.
Today I want to ask the Congress party. If you start your journey to unify India from Kanyakumari, don’t be so shameless as to ignore Swami Vivekananda. But it seems that Rahul Gandhi cannot accept such an act (of honoring Swami Vivekananda), Smriti criticized. But Rahul can be seen in the video offering his respect by shaking hands in front of the statue of Swami Vivekananda.
Jairam Ramesh and others came forward with severe criticism pointing out that Smriti’s allegation is baseless. BJP is spreading lies. Believing If Mrs. Irani needs new glasses to see things a little more clearly, we are ready to provide one of those,” said Jairam Ramesh.
