In a viral video, BJP leader and former Amethi MP Smriti Irani was seen praising Congress leader and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi.

Irani, who has always been a fierce critic of the Congress leader, said that Rahul Gandhi is now engaging in a different kind of politics. Whether you like it or not, it is different.

The BJP leader made the statement in a journalist's podcast, Top Angle.

When asked about Rahul Gandhi, she said, "There has been a change in Rahul Gandhi's politics. He believes that he has tasted success."

The BJP leader said, "He wears a white T-shirt in Parliament, and he knows what message he wants to convey to the younger generation. We should not be under the illusion that any of his actions... whether you find them good or bad, or whether they seem childish to you... he is now engaging in a different kind of politics."

In 2019, Smriti Irani defeated Rahul Gandhi in his stronghold, Amethi, by a margin of over 55,000 votes. However, when Irani lost Amethi to veteran Congress worker and Gandhi family confidant Kishori Lal Sharma, she was trolled badly on social media. Following this, Rahul Gandhi slammed the use of “derogatory language” against Irani and said that winning and losing in elections is part of the process.
