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.
