Smriti Irani: I request all of you to judge me by my work

Smriti Irani replies to Maken's comments
New Delhi, May 29: Two days after a controversy broke out over HRD Minister Smriti Irani's education qualification, Irani on Thursday finally broke her silence and replied to Congress leader Ajay Maken's comments.

Irani requested the people to judge her from her work. "I have been elected by my party. I humbly request all of you to judge me by my work." She added that circumstances have been created to divert her mind from her work.

She said: " I have been judged by my organisation for my capacity to deliver."

On Tuesday Congress leader Ajay Maken had tweeted questioning Irani's qualification as she took on the HRD ministry. Maken's comments were criticised and BJP immediately came to Irani's support and said that raising such questions about her was 'unfortunate.'

On Wednesday BJP leader Uma Bharti too hit out at Congress and questioned 'what was Sonia Gandhi's education qualification.'

Irani however did not comment on her education qualification.
