Union Minister and BJP's candidate from Amethi, Smriti Irani, on April 12 accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and the Congress of neglecting the development of Amethi.
"The government at the Centre was of his 'mataji' (mother, Sonia Gandhi) and that in U.P. had their support. But Rahul Gandhi never thought about the development of Amethi," said Ms. Irani, while speaking with the people from the Yadav community at her residence in Amethi.
Continuing her attack against Rahul Gandhi, the BJP leader said when a minister from Karnataka asked him why he was contesting elections from Wayanad, he replied that the people of Wayanad are more loyal.
