Union Minister Smriti Irani restricted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his remark at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Varanasi Lok Sabha constituency.
While speaking at a rally in his former constituency Amethi during the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, Gandhi claimed that he “saw people lying on the road after drinking alcohol” in Varanasi.
He also stated against the Ram Mandir pran pratishtha ceremony held in Ayodhya. Gandhi attacked business tycoons Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani. Smriti Irani called Rahul Gandhi’s remarks highly ‘objectionable’.

“These remarks show how much poison he has in his mind for Uttar Pradesh”, said Irani. She also added, ‘Gandhi made hurtful comments against the voters of Uttar Pradesh in his current constituency Wayanad’.
Union Minister also targeted Sonia Gandhi and questioned Rahul Gandhi’s raising. She further said that the old’s party future seems uncertain while Uttar Pradesh is headed towards development.
“Congress’ future is in darkness, but Uttar Pradesh’s future is moving towards development. It is my advice to Sonia Gandhi that if she cannot give a good value to her son, then at least ask him not to comment,” she said.
However, this is not the only attack that Smriti Irani launched on Rahul Gandhi. Smriti Irani had earlier challenged Rahul Gandhi to contest from Amethi, his former constituency, without shifting to Wayanad, his current constituency.
