BJP's Amethi Lok Sabha candidate Smriti Irani today said Priyanka Gandhi was indulging in poll gimmicks and was trying to deviate people's attention from actual issues.

While addressing a public meeting in Jagdishpur assembly segment, Irani said, "Priyanka should answer how many times did his brother Rahul Gandhi visit Amethi in last ten years. She should also compare my work in Parliament in last two and half years with Rahul's."

Earlier today, while canvassing for her brother, Priyanka had said Rahul has done so much for the area that she had to bring a long list of works done by him.

"I can remember the development works done in Rae Bareli, but here so much of work has been done that I have to bring a long list with me," Priyanka said.

Irani today addressed meetings in Achalpur, Chaubeypur and in other villages of Jagdishpur assembly.
