Maharashtra's Leader of the Opposition and Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar on Wednesday targeted Union Minister Smriti Irani's recent statement, in which she claimed that the Gandhi family is solely interested in empowering women within their own family. Wadettiwar said that those who enter other people's homes and accumulate the wealth of the wealthy have no right to comment on the poor or the Congress party.

"What does she (Smriti Irani) know? The woman who enters other people's houses and owns the property of the rich has no right to speak on the poor; she has no right to speak on Congress," he asserted while speaking to ANI.
