NEW DELHI: With actor-turned-politician Smriti Irani entering the fray as a BJP candidate in Amethi, a war of words has broken out between her and AAP contender Kumar Vishwas over his remark that any "Irani or Pakistani" will not make any difference in the constituency.
"The message has reached villages. Now whether Irani comes, Pakistani comes, Italian or American... But Amethi has already taken a decision," the AAP candidate from Amethi Lok Sabha constituency said.
BJP had yesterday decided to field Irani to take on Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi in Amethi.
Vishwas charged that there was some understanding between BJP and Congress in the Varanasi and Amethi seats.
"I think BJP is doing either some face saving or some nexus, may have been through Ahmed (Patel) uncle that you give us in Varanasi, we will give you in Amethi," he said
Reacting to the jibe, Irani said, "The understanding between AAP and Congress is publicly known and was very visible when they formed a government in Delhi."
