Rahul went for 'khat sabha', ignoring people of Amethi: Irani

"Rahul was so busy in his khaat sabha that he has ignored all the plights of the people of his constituency. He is not doing anything for the people of Amethi," Ms Irani alleged.

She said people of Amethi have given all support to the Congress since long but they could not find any relief so far.

She questioned, "do you need to become a Lok Sabha member from a place to work there?"

The Union Minister claimed that though Mr Gandhi did not spare a word to attack RSS but now it was that organisation which is serving the people of Amethi the most.  She was indirectly referring to Bhawrao Deoras Trust which is working in Amethi.

Talking to media at Haliyapur during her day long visit to Amethi, Ms Irani did nor spare Mr Gandhi for attacking the Samajwadi Party.

"The Congress came to power at the Centre last time by riding on the bicycle but now the Yuvraj is saying that the bicycle had punctured," she commented. "It shows his opportunist attitude," she said.

When asked about the recent dispute within the ruling Samajwadi Party in UP, Ms Irani said, "this fight has created more problems for the people."

"This bickering in the family will hit the people of the state most," she added.

The Union Minister was, however, peeved over the unsupportive attitude of the district administration of Amethi. "We had given seven ambulances to the district but they are not using it," she alleged.
