“The Congress should stop obsessing over Smriti Irani. The fact that she defeated Rahul Gandhi at the hustings will remain a permanent nightmare in their memory,” he said.This led to a war of words between Malviya and Khera.Khera hit back at Malviya to say that the “BJP IT cell coolies are invoking Sheila Dikshit as the one who started the WHO ORS initiative, and thinking they will be able to embarrass us with that. It is something to be proud of”.”It is you who first demonise USAID, Soros, global cooperation, and then hide behind the so called ‘external interference’ to distract attention from your domestic failures. When you get caught with your pants down, you resort to foolish whataboutery. We recognise the role of global cooperation in governance and geopolitics,” Khera said.Asking the BJP leader to go back and ask their master how much money did USAID give to the initiatives of his government, Khera said, “Ask him why did USAID support cashless economy. Ask him under whose pressure did he bring demonetisation.”The BJP has been attacking the Congress over USAID funding in elections, after the US administration stopped the funding.The BJP has also been attacking the Congress leadership of being “agents” of George Soros, who is known to have an anti-India stance.
