Union Minister Smriti Irani took a jibe at Rahul Gandhi after flags of the Muslim League were removed during his roadshow in Wayanad. Commenting on the incident, Smriti Irani suggested two potential explanations: either Rahul Gandhi is embarrassed by the support of the Muslim League, or he intends to hide his alliance with the Muslim League when campaigning in north India. "Muslim League flags were hidden in the Congress's nomination rally yesterday indicating that either Rahul Gandhi is ashamed of getting support from the Muslim League or when he visits north India and the temples there, he will not be able to hide his association with the Muslim League. I am shocked after coming to Wayanad that even after the ban of a terror outfit like PFI, Rahul Gandhi is taking support from PFI's political leadership. Every candidate before filing his nomination needs to take an oath of allegiance to the Indian Constitution. Rahul Gandhi falsified his oath to the Indian Constitution when he took support from the political leadership of the PFI for his campaign. There is hugging in Delhi and begging in Kerala which needs to be explained. Why do the alliance leaders meet in Delhi, where there seems to be no animosity, but when it comes to Wayanad, there is competition? Rahul Gandhi creates animosity against Sanatan Dharma when he does politics in south India. Why does he go to every temple of repute in the north when he wants to fight an election?" she said.
