Campaigning for actress-turned-politician and BJP candidate Smriti Irani contesting against Rahul Gandhi, Narendra Modi today held a rally in Amethi where he rejected the Congress Vice President's charge that he practises politics of anger. Modi said that he wants to start building India from Amethi. Modi said that he had come to Amethi for bringing about a change in this constituency. He charged that Amethi has been neglected by the Gandhi family despite representing it for 40 years and has done nothing for its development. Amethi goes to polls on May 7.

The campaigning by Modi in Rahul's constituency was significant as no top leader usually undertakes electioneering in the constituency of top rivals.
