Rahul Gandhi: ‘Stop Using Derogatory Language Against Smriti Irani’

New Delhi [India]: Leader of Opposition and Lok Sabha MP from Rae Bareli Rahul Gandhi on Friday urged everyone to refrain from using derogatory language against former Union Minister Smriti Irani.

He added that winning and losing was part of life.

His appeal came weeks after results of the Lok Sabha elections were declared on June 4.

In a post on X, Rahul Gandhi said, “Winning and losing happen in life. I urge everyone to refrain from using derogatory language and being nasty towards Smt. Smriti Irani or any other leader for that matter.

He added, “Humiliating and insulting people is a sign of weakness, not strength”.
Smriti Irani lost the Lok Sabha elections in Amethi. She was defeated by the Congress candidate Kishori Lal Sharma by a margin of 1,67,196 votes.

Sharma secured 5,39,228 votes while Irani garnered 3,72,032 votes.

In the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, Irani defeated Congress candidate Rahul Gandhi from Amethi- which had been a Congress bastion for several years.

In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Rahul Gandhi contested from Rae Bareli and Wayanad and won from both constituencies. Later, he gave up the Wayanad constituency. Priyanka Gandhi will make her electoral debut from the Wayanad.

After losing the poll, the BJP leader later said at a press conference, “I express my gratitude to all the BJP party workers and supporters, those who have worked in the service of the constituency and the party with dedication and loyalty. Today, I am grateful to PM Narendra Modi and CM Yogi Adityanath that their governments have completed the pending works of 30 years in just 5 years. I congratulate those who win. I will continue to be in the service of the people of Amethi”.

The Lok Sabha elections were held across the country in seven phases from April 19 to June 1.
