In yet another instance, during her rally, a local woman fell at Irani's feet complaining her of land grabbing by her family members. The Union Minister has taken the detailed events of the matter and has assured a swift action:
In addition, Irani has also met the villages in Amethi which were adopted by the late Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrirkar. The current CM of Goa Pramod Sawant also accompanied Irani.
Both leaders are also scheduled to meet the family of Surendra Singh, the former village head and a close aide of Irani who was shot dead last month. Talking to the media, Sawant said that :
"I had come to work in Amethi in 2014 too as a worker, I had worked with Surendra Singh (former village head of Barauli, who was shot dead last month) for 20-22 days, I knew him very well."
Earlier on May 25, Smriti Irani visited the constituency following the murder of one of her aides Surendra Singh in Baraulia village of the district, wherein, some of the deceased's relatives had indicated that his murder could be a fallout of a political rivalry, including the recently concluded general elections in which Smriti Irani defeated Congress president Rahul Gandhi.
