election platform 2022: central minister Smriti Irani Challenge given to former Congress president today Sonia GandhiHis sons Rahul and Priyanka will campaign in the Gujarat Assembly elections, he said, “I openly challenge all three and also challenge Jijaji (brother-in-law Robert Vadra) to come and campaign for each assembly seat in Gujarat. Milk Ka milk, pani ka pani ho jayenge (Everything will become clear)”
Answering questions at India TV’s one-day conclave ‘Chunav Manch’ in Ahmedabad, Smriti Irani said, “It is very easy to make tall claims from outside. If they want to test their political might, they should do it here.” Come and preach.” Irani reminded that top Congress leaders mocked Gujaratis during the UP assembly elections earlier this year and they do not have the courage to face the people of Gujarat.
Irani, who had defeated Rahul Gandhi In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections from Amethi, “Two parties are challenging us in Gujarat. Congress has been rejected by the people for years, while the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is telling people to at least support ‘nakalchi’ Do and leave the ‘original’. The people of Gujarat are intelligent, they listen to everyone but when it comes time to take a decision, they have been consistently supporting the BJP. This time too, they will make an informed choice and the BJP will be government.”
Irani said, “I have just come from Surat, where your office is locked. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann was waving alone from the vehicle during his roadshow. When former working president of Congress (Rahul Gandhi) was addressing a rally, his own party leader refused to translate his speech. What other sign do you want?”
On Rahul’s ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’, Irani said, ‘I am happy that Narendra Modi has been able to bring those who fly in the sky and often go abroad to the ground along with the common people. Modi has broken his ego. The man (Rahul) who was a Member of Parliament for 18 years is now saying that he is trying to understand the country. One birth is not enough to understand Indian culture, traditions and civilization.
The Union minister made fun of Rahul Gandhi performing aarti of the Narmada river. “If you have real respect for Dharma, you should not indulge in hypocrisy. It is written in ‘Vishnu Purana’, that ‘Pakanda’ (hypocrisy) is the son of ‘Adharma’ (anti-religion).”
When asked why she posted an inverted picture of Rahul performing aarti on her Twitter handle, Smriti Irani said, “I did it because he was wearing ‘Angavastram’ with ‘Om’ written on it. I just corrected it In our religion, you cannot wear ‘Om’ upside down while doing ‘Aarti’. Even a common man knows this.”
When asked if she was trying to portray Rahul as a ‘pishaach’ (demon) which is shown in reverse in Hindu mythology, Smriti Irani said, ‘I am not saying that, she’ Vampires’, but I can explain the religious meaning of it. The word ‘vampire’.”
“It is ridiculous that Rahul is chanting ‘Jai Narmade’ but he was walking with Medha Patkar in his yatra who opposed the construction of Sardar Sarovar Dam. Check internet. Three people were sacked for saying ‘Har’. Har Mahadev’. He called Hindus ‘saffron terrorists’. Today he is doing ‘Aarti’. This yatra is not for ‘Bharat Jodo’, this yatra is for his own is for profit.
Smriti Irani lashed out at AAP Gujarat chief Gopal Italia for his remarks against Narendra Modi’s 100-year-old mother Hiraba, saying she was doing a drama. “Hiraba was never in politics. She sees her son only on TV, never visits her son, but that leader abused her.”
On Gujarat Congress leader Madhusudan Mistry’s statement that the people of Gujarat will show Narendra Modi his ‘aukat’, Smriti Irani said, using words like ‘aukat’ smacks of political arrogance. He used such words against the Prime Minister of the country. Let them come (in the political arena) and fight.
