Mumbai: Looking towards Lok Sabha election BJP leader Smriti Irani Friday met several party workers in different assembly segments of the Amethi Lok Sabha constituency, including Tiloi and Jagdishpur, and discussed issues related to the polls.
Irani will be fighting against Congress president Rahul Gandhi has already started her door-to-door contact programme from Tiloi. She was accompanied by BJP’s district president Durgesh Tripathi.
After the announcement of the Lok Sabha elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader on Friday was the second and the last day of the two-day Amethi journey.
On Thursday, on the first day, Irani attacked the Congress chief saying that his decision to contest from Wayanad of Kerala was an insult to Amethi.
Irani had told a gathering in Parshedpur, “This is a coincidence, a sign from God that didi arrived here and the missing MP reached Kerala. I have come to seek (people’s) blessings and he rejected the blessings.”
“While the BJP workers are working with devotion to making the country capable and strong… the missing MP files his nomination from another place with the blessing of those who want to divide the country,” she had said.
This is Iran’s second attempt to flush the Congress from Amethi. In 2014, she lost the seat to Rahul Gandhi from a margin of over one lakh votes.
