Varanasi, Feb 21: In a veiled swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi who represents Varanasi in the Lok Sabha, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi claimed that during his visit to the temple town as a part of the ongoing Bharat Jodo Nyay yatra, he saw people lying drunk on roads. Addressing the public in Amethi, Wayanad MP said the youths of Uttar Pradesh were on a 'trip' after boozing by night.

“I went to Varanasi and I saw people lying on roads drunk. The youths of Uttar Pradesh are on a trip after consuming liquor at night. On the other hand, there is the Ram Mandir which is only visited by the likes of PM Modi, Ambani and Adani. You will see all our billionaires there but not a single person from a backward class or the Dalit community," Rahul Gandhi.  ”/

 
 
 
"Your place is only limited to roads for begging while they (Centre's alleged corporate cronies) keep minting money," he added.

Reacting to this, Union Minister and BJP MP Amethi Smriti Irani slammed Rahul Gandhi for his derogatory remarks.
 
 
“Rahul Gandhi's inappropriate remark shows how much venom he has in his heart for Uttar Pradesh. He made objectionable remarks against voters of UP in Wayanad. Today, he made indecent remarks about Varanasi and the youth of Uttar Pradesh. Congress' future is in darkness but UP's future is moving towards development," Smriti Irani. 



Notably, Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra entered Amethi on Monady, where he held road show and public meeting in the Uttar Pradesh town. Gandhi had represented Amethi in the Lok Sabha for 15 years before he was defeated by Irani in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
