Union minister Smriti Irani hit out at the Congress leadership over the alleged remarks by the party's youth wing president Srinivas BV against her, saying the words he used were of Rahul Gandhi and the sanskar of Sonia Gandhi.
According to a report of PTI, The BJP leader also alleged that Congress members who want promotion will continue to make such kind of comments against her so long as Sonia and Rahul Gandhi are there in the party.
Srinivas had allegedly made certain remarks against Irani at the Sankalp Satyagrah organised by the Congress at the Rajghat to protest against the disqualification of Rahul Gandhi as Lok Sabha member.
Reacting to his remarks, Irani said Srinivas is not the first Youth Congress president who has made indecent comments against her. I know what he said. The words that he used are of Rahul Gandhi, sanskar (teachings) of Sonia Gandhi. Only the voice is of the Youth Congress, Irani charged.
And so long as these two (Gandhis) are there, the Congress leaders who want promotion will continue to make such comments against me, she added. The BJP on Monday had slammed Srinivas over his alleged disparaging remarks, saying the Congress has become a cesspool of misogyny.
The BJP used a video clip to target the Congress and Srinivas on the issue, while also recalling similar instances where the grand-old party leader made alleged sexist remarks.
The Congress has become a cesspool of misogyny, hatred for women especially if she comes from a humble background & defeats an entitled dynast, BJP Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla tweeted.
In the clip of his speech delivered in Hindi, Srinivas can be heard saying, The BJP means inflation. These same people in 2014 used to say that there is inflation witch which has been made to sit Smriti Irani has become a little mute and deaf.
