Former Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Thursday took a swipe at the BJP over the LPG cylinders’ price hike by attaching an old picture of Union Minister Smriti Irani.
“I agree with these members of the BJP as they protest the astronomical Rs 150 price hike in LPG cylinders,” Rahul Gandhi tweeted with the hashtag Roll Back Hike.
He also attached a picture of Irani protesting along with the BJP workers with an LPG cylinder.
Rahul’s tweet brings into focus the sharp political rivalry between him and Irani and is taken as a reminder that he has not forgotten the loss of his family bastion Amethi to the BJP leader. Irani had defeated the former Congress chief from Uttar Pradesh’s Amethi by a margin of 55,000 votes in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
