Smriti Irani said women leaders should not be expected to take care of only women members of society.
“Ghar par ladka hai par lad nahin sakta (There is a boy at home who can't fight)”, Union Minister Smriti Irani said on Thursday, countering Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's slogan “Ladki hoon, lad sakti hoon (I'm a girl and can fight)” for her party.
Ms Irani quipped the innuendo, mocking both former Congress president Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav at the Times Now Summit 2021.
"In UP, the election would be fought on the issue of development and we expect that there will be policy and development-led discussions, strengthening the democracy," Ms Irani said, countering the Congress slogan for the upcoming Uttar Pradesh assembly elections.
Referring to the “Ladki hoon…” slogan, tossed by Priyanka Gandhi during her announcement last month that the Congress will field woman candidates on 40 per cent of the UP assembly seats, Ms Irani said it means “Ghar par ladka hai par lad nahin sakta”.
