Smriti Irani wields two swords, performs ‘talwar raas’ in Gujarat
- Union Textiles and Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Irani on Friday performed the ‘talwar raas’, a traditional Gujarat dance form using swords, at a cultural programme organised in the state’s Bhavnagar area.
- During the function, Irani took a dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi who she defeated in Amethi in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
- Irani said she could not resist the urge to perform the traditional dance after watching girls put up a stellar display.
- Irani then took the stage and tried her best to match steps with the girls while holding two swords, a video of which later went viral on social media platforms.
- Gujarat BJP president Jitu Vaghani and Lok Sabha MP Bharatiben Shiyal were among the dignitaries present on the occasion.
