Nagpur (Maharashtra) [India], September 20 (ANI): Maharashtra Leader of Opposition and Congress Leader Vijay Wadettiwar on Tuesday targeted Smriti Irani over her ‘Gandhi family is only interested in empowering women in their family’ remark by saying, “The woman who enters other people's houses and owns the property of the rich has no right to speak on the poor; she has no right to speak on Congress.”
“What does she (Smriti Irani) know? The woman who enters other people's houses and owns the property of the rich has no right to speak on the poor; she has no right to speak on Congress,” he said while speaking to ANI. 
He further said, “Congress has uplifted the poor; the world knows this, and the whole of India knows this. 
He further alleged, "These people (BJP) are concerned about only the businessmen, and they blame Congress to hide their sins."
Earlier on Tuesday, while questioning former Congress president Sonia Gandhi for not being present in the House when the historic Women's Reservation Bill was tabled in the Lok Sabha, Union Minister Smriti Irani said that the Gandhi family is only interested in empowering women in their family.
“Gandhi Family is only interested in empowering the women in their family. They are not interested in empowering the poor, Adivasi, or Dalit women,” Smriti Irani said while speaking to ANI on Tuesday.
The Congress' parliamentary party chief, Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday said the women's reservation bill "is ours", as the bill was about to be tabled in Parliament.
The Congress on Monday said it welcomed the introduction of the bill as the party has been raising the demand for women's reservation in Parliament and state assemblies for a long time. (ANI)
