Priyanka Gandhi insulted Lal Bahadur Shastri: Smriti Irani
New Delhi: Union Minister and BJP leader Smriti Irani on Wednesday accused Priyanka Gandhi Vadra of "insulting" Lal Bahadur Shastri as a purported video showed the Congress leader garlanding a bust of the former prime minister during her tour in Uttar Pradesh with the garland she had worn.
Irani wrote a limerick in a Hindi dialect to take a dig at Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
"In her "arrogance", she chose a used garland, clapped, waved her hands and left after insulting Shastri," Irani tweeted, tagging the video.

गुमान में बिटिया भूल गई मरजाद
आपन गले की उतरन, पहनाए दीहिन
शास्त्री जी के अपमान पर ताली बजाएके, हाथ हिलाइएके

The BJP leader also took a dig at the Congress over a woman's accusation that its workers behaved inappropriately with her.
"It shows the real values of Congress," Irani alleged.
Wrapping up her three-day tour of Uttar Pradesh in Prime minister Narendra Modi's constituency of Varanasi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra called the coming Lok Sabha election a "new freedom struggle".
