Rahul asks people to refrain from insulting Irani, others leaders

  • | Saturday | 13th July, 2024

Leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, on Friday took to X and urged people to refrain from using derogatory language and being nasty towards former Union minister Smriti Irani or any other leader. Following her loss to Congress candidate Kishori Lal Sharma in the Lok Sabha polls, Smriti Irani vacated her official residence. Rahul Gandhis remarks came as some people took a dig at Irani as she moved out of the bungalow. Winning and losing happen in life. I urge everyone to refrain from using derogatory language and being nasty towards Smt Smriti Irani or any other leader for that matter, Rahul Gandhi said on X. Humiliating and insulting people is a sign of weakness, not strength, the Congress leader added. Weeks after her defeat in Uttar Pradeshs Amethi Lok Sabha constituency, Irani moved out of her official residence at 28 Tughlak Crescent in Lutyens Delhi. She lost the parliamentary seat to Sharma, a close associate of the Gandhi family, by a margin of over 1.6 lakh votes. The former women and child development minister was dubbed a giant slayer in 2019 after she defeated Rahul Gandhi from the Amethi Lok Sabha seat. Rahul Gandhi, meanwhile, won from both the seats that he contested, including Keralas Wayanad and Rae Bareli, in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. As Irani vacated her official bungalow, some people took swipes at her and mocked her for her defeat in the polls.
