New Delhi: Priyanka Gandhi, Congress general secretary in charge of eastern Uttar Pradesh, on Monday, lashed out Union minister Smriti Irani for distributing shoes to the common people of Amethi. Priyanka said Irani has disrespected the people of Amethi.

Smriti Irani is the BJP candidate from Amethi Lok Sabha constituency where she is seeking to defeat the sitting MP and Congress chief, Rahul Gandhi.

Priyanka slammed Smriti Irani and said, “Smriti wanted to show that people of Amethi don’t have shoes to wear. She wanted to humiliate Rahul Gandhi. But doing so she has humiliated people of Amethi.”

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra: Ye Smriti Irani ji yahan aai aur unhone joote baante ye kehne ke liye ki inke pas joote bhi nahi hai pehene ke liye. Ye soch rahi hain ki Rahul ji ka apmaan kar rahi hai, ye kar rahi hain Amethi ki janta ka apmaan. pic.twitter.com/8EOofr6sey

While reacting over Priyanka Gandhi’s statement, Smriti Irani said, “Rather than doing drama, the Congress leader should visit the poor who doesn’t have money to buy shoes.”

Smriti Irani further added, “Actor main reh chuki hoon toh natak Priyanka ji na hi karein to behtar hai. Jahan tak baat un gharib nagrikon ki hai jinke paas pehne ko joota nahi tha, toh kripya karke agar unme thodi bhi sharm ho to khud ja ke dekh lein ki sach kya hai. (I have been an actor, so I will request Priyanka Gandhi to stop doing drama. If she has any shame, Priyanka should visit the poor people who do not have shoes to wear and find out the truth).”
