Smriti Irani lashes out at Rahul Gandhi

BJP politician and Union minister for textiles, Smriti Irani labelled Congress leader and MP Rahul Gandhi as an incompetent political rival on Friday. “Rahul Gandhi is an incompetent politician compared to a leader like Devendra Fadnavis. He has become a problem for his own party,” Smriti told media.

Smriti added Gandhi tasted defeat in the LS election in AprilMay, as he was taught a lesson by the voters, for joining hands with the ‘tukde-tukde’ gang of JNU. “Rahul Gandhi has insulted Veer Savarkar, someone who gave his life for independence. The people of Maharashtra will give him a befitting reply on October 21,” added Smriti.

Irani accused Congress leader of maligning the country, when a Congress unit went to meet the leaders of the British Labour Party to discuss the Kashmir issue.

Earlier, the BJP had taken a stand, when BLP leader Jeremy Corbyn took to Twitter stating, he had a discussion with the Congress leaders regarding the breach of human rights of the people in J&K. “Rahul needs to answer the people of India, why his party went ahead to have a discussion on Kashmir issue, despite the stated stand, there will be no third party intervention in Kashmir, since it is an internal issue,” stated the union minister.

Aarey, on which Sena and BJP have taken complete opposite stands, irani said Mumbai is on development path and the issues of development and ecological conservation need to be balanced. Later, she held roadshow for BJP at the suburban constituencies of Borivli (west) and Ville Parle (west).
