Union Textiles Minister Smriti Irani targeted Indian National Congress's General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and said that Sarcasm on Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel and the people of the country on twitter is easy. Smriti was participating in Gandhi Sankalp Yatra in her parliamentary constituency Amethi. She said that it is difficult for the Congress party to follow the footsteps of Sardar Patel, they can only sarcasm on the people of the country and Patel on Twitter.

The Congress leader Priyanka said, "First that BJP does not have any legendary freedom fighter and second that even the enemies have to bow before great personalities like Patel," on her twitter account.

Smriti said that if Congress really had loyalty in Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel, then Congress people would also be participating in the Run for Unity. The Prime Minister had called on every citizen to join the Run for Unity, but she (Priyanka Vadra) was not present there, it is a sign of her own feeling about Patel.

The Union Minister said that the country and the state are developing at a rapid pace. Efforts are being made to make them available to the public by implementing government schemes properly. Smriti Irani said that calling Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel and Gandhiji a member of the Congress Party will no longer work. There is a need to follow their ideals and reach the people.
