Priyanka Gandhi slams Smriti Irani
Rae Bareli, May 27 (IBNS): A day after Smriti Irani attacked the Gandhi family of making hollow promises to the people of Amethi and Rae Bareli, Congress President Sonia Gandhi's daughter Priyanka Gandhi on Wednesday asked what was stopping the HRD Minister from establishing an Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) here.
"She is the HRD Minister. First she should tell why she is not setting up an IIIT here. The youth are facing a lot of problems and this is her department. Why is she not looking into it," Priyanka told mediapersons.
Irani, in an indirect attack on Nehru-Gandhi family, on Tuesday said after years of promises, Amethi and Rae Bareli will now witness development.
"The grandparents said it and now he (Rahul) is making promises. They all had been making promises, but the people here are yet to have facility of railway line. This time the work will start soon," Irani had said.
