My daughter being targeted for my stand on 'loot' by Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, says Smriti Irani
The Hindu
BJP leader dared Rahul Gandhi to fight from Amethi Lok Sabha seat again in 2024, and vowed that she will make him bite the dust again.
Union minister Smriti Irani on Saturday rejected as malicious the Congress' allegation that her daughter ran an illegal bar in Goa, and said the college student was targeted because of her mother's vocal stand on the Sonia and Rahul Gandhi's "₹5,000-crore loot" in the National Herald case.
The Congress "assassinated" and "publicly mutilated" her daughter's character, Ms. Irani said in a hard-hitting press conference, and dared the Opposition party to show the proof of any wrongdoing.
She asserted her 18-year-old daughter is a first-year college student and does not run any bar.
"My daughter's fault is that her mother holds a press conference on the loot of ₹5,000 cr by Sonia and Rahul Gandhi. Her fault is that her mother fought against Rahul Gandhi in 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha polls," the MP said.
The BJP leader dared Rahul Gandhi to fight from Amethi Lok Sabha seat again in 2024, and vowed that she will make him bite the dust again.
"I will seek answers in the court of law and the court of people," she said in reaction to the allegation.
The Congress on Saturday demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi sack Ms. Irani as a minister, alleging that an "illegal bar" was being run in Goa by her daughter.
