Video of Smriti Irani scolding officers for Amethi teachers' unpaid salaries goes VIRAL | WATCH

New Delhi: Union Minister and BJP MP Smriti Irani, who was on a three-day visit to her parliamentary constituency Amethi, came down heavily on an education officer after hearing grievances of retired school teachers, who are yet to get their salaries. After listening to their concern, Irani, without wasting any time dialled the district inspector of schools and asked him to clear all the pending dues. 

A video of Irani reprimanding the education officer has gone viral on social media.

"This is Amethi, every person residing here has access to me. They can come directly to me with their problems. Show some humanity", she can be heard saying in the video. She also mentioned that the state government-led by Yogi Adityanath is also keen on ensuring that teachers receive their salaries timely. 

Irani also interacted with people in Munshiganj, where the villagers drew her attention to the drainage. Speaking to the people, Irani alleged that former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi ignored the development of Amethi, a constituency he represented in the Lok Sabha for 15 years, but built a guest house for himself.

“His government was at the Center for 10 years but he did not even think about the development of Amethi. Here, work was being done only on paper. Rahul Gandhi could not even build a drain properly in Amethi,” she said.

The Union minister said that under the BJP government, work has been done on the ground in Amethi and development works were being done at a rapid pace. Amethi is moving forward on the path of continuous development, she stressed.

During her visit to the constituency, Irani listened to the problems of the people through public dialogue programmes in Ramdevpur, Munshiganj, Sarai Khema, Loniapur, and Pithipur and directed the officials concerned to solve the issues.

Her plan to return to Delhi on Friday has been cancelled and she will continue to tour the constituency till December 30.
