No District Hospital In 70 Years: Smriti Irani's Takedown Of Rahul Gandhi

"In 70 years of Independence, the district the MP led (Amethi) did not even get a district hospital," said Smriti Irani, who dislodged Rahul Gandhi from family turf Amethi in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

Union minister Smriti Irani slammed Congress's Rahul Gandhi today over his takedown of the government in connection to the National Monetisation Pipeline, saying what is "upsetting the Congress is the 6 lakh crores that would raised".  Mr Gandhi had spearheaded the Congress attack on the monetisation plan announced yesterday, saying it helped Prime Minister Narendra Modi "sell the country's crown jewels, built over 70 years with public money, to his industrialist friends".   His party said the privatisation list busts the BJP claim that the Congress has built nothing since Independence and this government is now selling it to cover up their mismanagement of the economy. "In 70 years of Independence, the district the MP led (Amethi) did not even get a district hospital," hit back Ms Irani, who dislodged Mr Gandhi from family turf Amethi in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.   "Their problem is that 6 lakh crore rupees will come from this disinvestment. That's why they are having trouble,"Ms Irani said.
