Union Textiles Minister Smriti Irani is at war again. A Twitter war with her bete noire  Rahul Gandhi. Irani took on the Congress vice president for his January 11 speech during which he spoke at length against Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticising the demonetisation move.


Rahul said 'acche din' will only come after Congress comes back in power in 2019. Parts of his speech also went viral on social media in which he said that Bhartiya Janata Party did in two-and-a-half years which Congress couldn't do in 70 years. Rahul meant that under the BJP, institutions like the Reserve Bank of India and judiciary had weakened.Irani took to Twitter and quote tweeted the leader on three of his tweets.


"Sly tweet for Shri Manmohan Singh,' she wrote sharing his post on Modi that read, "For the first time in our history a Prime Minister of India is being ridiculed the world over'. In another tweet, Gandhi hit out at the PM saying that he the demonetisation move is an incompetent one and never before any PM has taken such a step, to which, Irani said, "2G, Coal Scam, Common Wealth Games Scam, Augusta '" Your definition of competence???' Gandhi's most talked about statement during the speech, "cche Din will come only when Congress comes to power in 2019' was also picked up by the minister and she took a jibe at him by saying, "Is this an admission that decades of Congress rule in our country were not Acche Din???'

This is not the first time that Smriti Irani has trolled Gandhi. In May last year, she dragged Rahul into her Twitter spat. Read that here.
