LIVE! BJP may pit Smriti Irani against Rahul Gandhi in Amethi
March 27, 2014  16:12
BJP is likely to field its party Vice President Smriti Irani from the constituency of Amethi against Rahul Gandhi. This is in continuum with fielding a woman candidate as Uma Bharti is contesting in the neighbouring Rae Bareily seat against Sonia Gandhi. 

Rajnath Singh has approved the candidatures. Modi will address three rallies in these two constituencies, to ensure that the rank and file of the BJP is enthused.

If BJP decides to contest Irani from Amethi, AAP leader Kumar Vishwas will also be pitted against her.
