In Rahul Gandhi's Amethi, union minister Smriti Irani today declared him M.I.A or missing in action. Smriti embarked on a one-day tour of Congress Vice President's Lok Sabha constituency today, to underscore that Rahul has not visited Amethi in over three months. Smriti had also contested the Lok Sabha elections from Amethi.


The BJP leader stepped into Rahul's turf and announced a slew of sops for farmers, which included insurance for 5000 families in Amethi and no deduction in purchase of wheat by the Centre.


Attacking Rahul Gandhi on the Food Park issue, Irani said, "He is lobbying for a corporate house, the land was allotted in 2010 and no work was done. The state government is not paying the compensation."


The food park issue was raised in Lok Sabha by Rahul Gandhi who attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi accusing him of practicing "politics of revenge".
