Smriti Irani takes a dig at Rahul Gandhi after Kerala Congress requests him to contest from Wayanad

Union minister Smriti Irani on Saturday mocked Congress chief Rahul Gandhi after reports emerged that Congress leaders in Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu have urged him to contest the Lok Sabha polls from their states.

Taking to Twitter, Smriti Irani said that since the people of Amethi have thrown Rahul Gandhi out, an environment is now being created to make it look as if people in other states want him.
