Arrogance Led To Rahul Gandhi's Defeat In Amethi: Smriti Irani

The Union minister said Rahul Gandhi is the political master of the Congress and she is a worker of the BJP.
Union Minister Smriti Irani on Thursday took a swipe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi saying he is the "political master" of his party and that "arrogance" caused his defeat in Amethi, a seat that the grand old party had held "as a family" for over four decades.
Ms Irani, the Union Minister of Women and Child Development, further said that the alliance of opposition parties today on the national front was one she had fought in Amethi in 2019 when she defeated Rahul Gandhi.
The minister was responding to a query from the audience during the Manorama News Conclave 2023 organised by the Malayalam Manorama group here as to why BJP was unable to win a seat in Kerala and whether she would compete against Mr Gandhi to remedy the same.
