Amethi, Sept 20 (IBNS) Union Minister Smriti Irani on Sunday dared the Congress and its vice-president Rahul Gandhi to send her behind the bars.

Smriti Irani made the remarks a day after the Congress served the BJP leader a  legal notice on her land grab allegations against the Rajiv Gandhi Trust.

She said she will 'speak' for the people of Amethi constituency in Uttar Pradesh even if she is send to jail.

"If the Congress and Rahul Gandhi have courage then let them send me to jail," Irani said while addressing a gathering here.

"I will keep speaking for the people of Amethi from the jail too," she said.

In the Lok Sabha polls last year, Rahul Gandhi had defeated Irani in Amethi.
