Smriti Irani targeted Rahul Gandhi
Preparations for the Lok Sabha elections are going on in full swing. BJP has released the first list of names of its candidates for the Lok Sabha elections. But Congress has not released a single list of names of its candidates. Also, Congress is still discussing seat sharing in many states. Meanwhile, speculations were being made that like last time, this time also Rahul Gandhi will file nomination from 2 seats for the Lok Sabha elections. In such a situation, Union Minister Smriti Irani while attacking Rahul Gandhi had said that Amethi is no longer a Congress stronghold.
Jairam Ramesh’s response to Smriti Irani’s statement
On the statement of Union Minister and BJP MP from Amethi, Smriti Irani, Congress General Secretary Communication in-charge Jairam Ramesh said that whatever Smriti Irani may say, we have a process. Discussion takes place in the meeting. After that the list of candidates is released. The candidates will be announced today or tomorrow. Only CEC takes the final decision from where Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi will contest the elections. Actually Jairam Ramesh is involved with Rahul Gandhi in his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra. In such a situation, many other leaders including Rahul Gandhi and Jairam Ramesh have reached Gujarat under the Nyaya Yatra.
What did Smriti Irani say?
In fact, Union Minister Smriti Irani had said in her statement that why is it taking so much time for those who say that Amethi is the stronghold of the Gandhi family to declare their candidates? His lack of confidence tells you that Amethi is no longer a Congress stronghold. If he is contesting on two seats, it means that he is announcing his defeat from Amethi even before the elections. I had said that if their leader has courage then why don’t they contest elections from Amethi alone without the support of Mayawati and Akhilesh Yadav. So milk of milk and water of water will become the same.
