Smriti Irani and Rahul Gandhi locked horns twice in the Lok Sabha elections at Amethi in Uttar Pradesh. Despite losing in 2014, Smriti Irani avenged the loss with a victory with a huge margin in 2019. Ahead of the 2024 elections, Smriti Irani looks to have a stranglehold over Wayanad to oust the Congress leader from his constituency in Kerala.
Meanwhile, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi makes a visit to Nepal for a friend's wedding sparked controversy over a barrage of tweets from BJP leaders. Several supporters lashed out at Rahul Gandhi for attending a party while the Congress leader criticises the Centre on social media platforms.
