Wayanad battle: Smriti Irani holds roadshow in Wayanad, says Rahul Gandhi cheated people of Amethi

Just a day after Rahul Gandhi filed his nomination in Wayanad, Union Minister Smriti Irani on Thursday led a massive roadshow in support of BJP candidate K Surendran.

Smriti Irani slammed the Congress and the CPI, who are I.N.D.I.A bloc partners but are fighting in Wayanad against each other. She said this was nothing but cheating the people here.

“Just like how Rahul was booted out from Amethi, this time, the same will happen at Wayanad,” said the BJP supporters who raised pro-Modi and BJP slogans as the motorcade headed towards the Collectorate.

Smriti Irani addressed a huge gathering wherein she slammed the Gandhi family for failing to do anything for their traditional seat — Amethi in Uttar Pradesh.

She said it was only after the BJP won from Amethi that the development began there and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government was doing a lot.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and the CPI candidate Annie Raja filed their nominations on Wednesday.

In the 2019 polls, Rahul Gandhi contested from Wayanad fearing defeat in his bastion Amethi. Smriti Irani defeated Rahul Gandhi in the Amethi Lok Sabha constituency in the 2019 polls.

Kerala goes to the polls on April 26 in the second phase of the Lok Sabha elections to elect all its 20 MPs.
