While Smriti Irani was seen riding a two-wheeler, the BJP candidate from Coimbatore South Vanathi Sreenivasan was seen sitting pillion on another two-wheeler.

As a part of election campaigning for Vanathi Srinivasan, Smriti Irani also performed a traditional dance with the BJP workers in Coimbatore.

Smriti Irani also challenged actor and Makkal Needhi Maiam founder Kamal Haasan to have an open debate with Vanathi Srinivasan, BJP`s candidate for Coimbatore South constituency, after he took on the Centre on issues of development in his campaigns.

Addressing the `North India Community Outreach Programme`, organized at Gujarati Samaj in Coimbatore, Smriti Irani recalled that she had participated in a debate with him a few years back.

"I challenge Kamal Haasan to come for a debate with Vanathi Srinivasan, to prove to the people who is it that really knows the issues well, gives solutions, and implements policies."

Reeling out statistics on infrastructure development, she said, "All this was possible because the people of India blessed and elected Narendra Modi as Prime Minister... who chose to be the first public servant of the nation."

Appealing to the people to cast their votes for the BJP on April 6, she said "Lakshmi (goddess of wealth) is coming not with a torch, but on Kamal (Lotus)."
