Smriti Irani's "Let Him Fight From Amethi" Dare To Rahul Gandhi

Amethi used to be a Congress stronghold in Uttar Pradesh, where Rahul Gandhi lost to Smriti Irani by a margin of around 55,000 votes in the 2019 elections.

Union Minister Smriti Irani has challenged Rahul Gandhi, whose Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra entered Uttar Pradesh today, to contest from his erstwhile constituency of Amethi.

"In 2019 he left Amethi, today Amethi has left him. If he is confident, then without going to Wayanad (Mr Gandhi's Constituency), let him fight from Amethi," Ms Irani told NDTV.

"Amethi's empty roads tell us what they feel about Rahul Gandhi," said Ms Irani, who held a Jan Samwad in Amethi as part of a four-day visit to her parliamentary constituency.
