Smriti Irani Chastised Official On Her Amethi Visit: ‘Aadhe Ghante Mein Karo Warna…’

During her four-day visit to her parliamentary constituency in Amethi, Union minister Smriti Irani held a “Jan Samwad” on Monday to hear the complaints of the locals. In one such instance, the minister of women and child development voiced her displeasure and chastised officials severely for the alleged incompetence.

Smriti Irani in Amethi: “Aadhe Ghante mein karo warna…”

Irani reprimanded an administrative official in the Tikar Mafi area of Amethi, Uttar Pradesh, for alleged land invasion, and instructed the SDM to have the land cleared in thirty minutes.
“Kyu kal karna hai, abhi adhe ghante me karo warna mai khud baith jaunga (Why wait until tomorrow? Do it within half an hour, or else I’ll personally stage a protest),” Smriti warned the revenue official about the alleged slow progress of work.

Busy day in Amethi

Rahul Gandhi, a former member of parliament for the constituency and Irani, also visited Amethi, making it a very busy day in the constituency. Resuming from Pratapgarh on Monday, the Bharat Jodo Yatra led by the former Congress president entered the former stronghold.

Amethi was a Congress stronghold until 2019, when Rahul Gandhi lost the Lok Sabha elections to Irani by about 55,000 votes. Given that Sonia Gandhi also left Rae Bareli for the Rajya Sabha, the Congress is still unsure about Rahul Gandhi’s intentions to try to retake the Congress stronghold.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi addressed a public rally in Babuganj. “We will stay in Amethi tonight and reach Raebareli tomorrow morning. We will stay in Lucknow tomorrow and in Kanpur the day after. Then, we will take 2 days’ rest on 22nd and 23rd February…” said Congress leader, Jairam Ramesh.
