BJP candidate from Amethi, Smriti Irani took a dig at Congress president Rahul Gandhi. Irani in her comment attacked Rahul for contesting from Wayanad, Kerala as his second seat after Amethi.
She reportedly said that his decision to contest from the Wayanad was an “insult” to the people of Amethi. Further , she stated that a person who is here in Amethi for the past 15 years has decided to leave his supporters and has chosen to file nominations from another constituency.
Smriti Irani has alleged that the reason Rahul is contesting from Wayanad is from the fear that he might lose Amethi time around. He is filing his papers from another Lok Sabha seat. This is an insult to Amethi and a betrayal with its people. The people will not tolerate this”, Irani said
