'Will rename Kannauj to Gorakhpur...': War of words between Smriti, Akhilesh over 'Saas-Bahu' jibe

Former Union minister Smriti Irani responded to Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav's comments during the women's quota bill debate. Yadav expressed support for women's quotas but warned that reserved constituencies could increase rivalry among women, making a dismissive remark about family politics. Irani challenged Yadav to contest elections from Gorakhpur to prove his bravery. In response, Yadav playfully suggested renaming his Kannauj constituency to Gorakhpur, alluding to her challenge.
