Friday was the second and last day of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader’s two-day visit to Amethi after the Lok Sabha elections were announced.
On the first day on Thursday, Irani had attacked the Congress chief, saying his decision to contest from Wayanad in Kerala was an “insult” to Amethi.
Calling herself ‘didi’ (elder sister), Irani had told a gathering in Parshedpur, “This is a coincidence, a sign from God that didi arrived here and the missing MP reached Kerala. I have come to seek (people’s) blessings and he rejected the blessings.”
“While the BJP workers are working with devotion to make the country capable and strong… the missing MP files his nomination from another place with the blessing of those who want to divide the country,” she had said.
