Jagran correspondent, Amethi. The name of former Union Minister Smriti Irani has been added under the Special Intensive Review (SIR) campaign. She is a voter of Leela Tikra booth of Gauriganj. Smriti has put a seal on their strong relationship by adding their names to SIR. In the publication of the draft list, the names of two lakh 67 thousand voters of the district have been deleted, but during the SIR process, the name of former Union Minister and MP Smriti Irani has been registered as a voter in Medan Mavai Gram Panchayat of Gauriganj. She has been registered at number 514 in the list of 666 voters who voted at the composite school Leela Tikra polling station. House has been built in Medan Mawai
The former Union Minister had purchased 11 Biswa land in Medan Mavai village of Gauriganj on 22 February 2021 for the construction of a house. After this, on July 29, 2021, he laid the foundation of the house by his son Johar Irani by performing Bhoomi Pujan as per the rituals. On completion of the construction of the house, the house warming ceremony was organized on 22 February 2024. After this, the former Union Minister became a voter at the booth of this village and cast his vote at Leela Tikra booth in the 2024 general elections. जबकि इससे वह 27 मुंबई उत्तर पश्चिम संसदीय निर्वाचन क्षेत्र से वोटर थी।
trying to send a bigger message
Smriti Irani had lost the election to Congress candidate Kishori Lal Sharma in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. In such a situation, there were speculations that she would not return to Amethi, but she has tried to give a big message by including her name in the voter list of Amethi in SIR.
Gandhi family is not a voter of Amethi. Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi contested the Lok Sabha elections from Amethi and won but no member of the Gandhi family is a voter of Amethi. Even the current MP Kishori Lal Sharma is not a voter of the district.
Former MP Smriti Irani had filled the SIR form. जिसके बाद उनका नाम मेदन मवई की वोटर लिस्ट में जोड़ दिया गया है। - प्रीति तिवारी, एसडीएम-गौरीगंज
