Cars Damaged Near Congress Amethi Office, Party Says Smriti Irani "Scared"

BJP spokesperson Rakesh Tripathi said the Congress is using dirty tricks in the election for Amethi Lok Sabha seat

Several vehicles parked near a Congress office in Amethi's Gauriganj were vandalised last night, allegedly by BJP workers. The Congress has alleged that the attack was orchestrated by sitting MP and BJP candidate Smriti Irani. It has also accused "BJP goons" of attacking its workers. Police have said they have registered a case and probe is on. The BJP has denied the allegations. 

Late last night, the Congress shared on X a video that showed several cars with their windscreens shattered. "Smriti Irani and BJP workers are badly scared in Amethi. Foreseeing the defeat, BJP goons armed with sticks and rods reached outside the Congress office in Amethi and vandalised vehicles parked there. There has been a deadly attack on Congress workers and the people of Amethi. Many people are badly injured in this attack. During the incident, vehicles of local people were also damaged," the post read.

The Congress alleged that police remained a mute spectator. "The police administration remained a mute spectator during the entire incident. This incident is proof that BJP is going to lose badly in Amethi," it said.
