BJP leader Smriti Irani hits out Congress over Rahul Gandhi's 'mohabbat ki dukan' remark
Amethi (UP) (PTI): Union Minister Smriti Irani on Saturday hit out at the Congress over its leader Rahul Gandhi's "mohabbat ki dukan" pitch, saying by talking about opening a shop, they have proved politics for them is a business.
In a speech at an event in the US earlier this week, Gandhi had referred to his slogan made during the Bharat Jodo Yatra, during which he had said "nafrat ke bazaar mein mohabbat ki dukan kholenge" (in the market of hate, shops of love will be opened).
He had also criticised the BJP, saying that "India has understood that it cannot go forward with the type of hatred that the BJP is spreading in society".
"The Congress workers are talking about opening of a shop, and they have proved that for them politics is a business, and they have nothing to do with 'raashtraniti'," Irani told reporters here when asked about the 'mohabbat ki dukan' remark.
Irani, who is the Union minister for women and child development and the MP from Amethi, was here to inaugurate the newly constructed building of the Gauriganj Nagar Palika Parishad.

Ranchi: Temple guard bludgeoned to death during robbery attempt, 3 held
Ranchi (PTI): A 60-year-old security guard of a temple in Ranchi was bludgeoned to death with a stone during a robbery attempt, police said on Saturday.
The incident happened late on Thursday at the Jagannath Temple in the Dhurwa Smart City area, they said.
"Three persons were arrested on Friday for killing the security guard. They confessed to the crime and told police that the victim had identified them. Therefore, in fear of being caught, they killed him by attacking him with a stone on his head," SSP Rakesh Ranjan said.
"Thereafter, they took money from the donation box and fled the scene. Two of them have criminal antecedents," he added.
Ranjan said the investigators recovered Rs 3 lakh in cash that had been robbed, the stone with blood-stained marks, and the iron rod used to break open the lock of the donation box kept there.
An FIR in this regard was lodged at the Dhurwa police station, he said, adding that the accused were sent to judicial custody by a court.
