New Delhi, Feb 11 : Union Textiles and Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Irani on Thursday attacked former Congress President Rahul Gandhi on his track record in Amethi while intervening in the Budget discussion in the Lok Sabha.
Irani said Gandhi deprived panchayats in Amethi during his tenure as MP. It is not acceptable for the alleged gentleman to discuss the budget which has provision for rural infrastructure development as he deprived 194 panchayats of Panchayat Bhawan during his tenure in Amethi. I support this budget which fulfills all these needs of Amethi Lok Sabha residents, Irani said.
