Smriti Irani takes on Arvind Kejriwal over sexist comment, says ‘women capable of choosing their candidate’

Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Irani on Saturday (February 8) hit out at Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal for his sexist comment when he suggested that women should heed their male counterparts’ counsel while voting.

Irani questioned his intentions in making such a comment on Twitter earlier. “Don’t you think that women are capable enough to decide on their own about whom to vote?” Irani tweeted in response with a hashtag #AntiWomenKejriwal.

Responding to Smriti’s charge, Kejriwal wrote that ‘the women of Delhi have already decided on whom they want to vote for’.
