New Delhi, Apr 1 (IBNS) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Smriti Irani on Tuesday said Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi himself has become a challenge for Amethi.

"With a collapsed primary education system, no 24-hour electricity and low GDP, Rahul himself has become a challenge for Amethi," Smriti was quoted as saying by CNN-IBN.

The BJP on Monday fielded Irani from the Amethi Lok Sabha constituency in Uttar Pradesh where she will fight against Gandhi.
