Sources in the Textile Ministry revealed, Smriti Irani recently had a fight with the secretary and senior IAS officer Rashmi Verma and the following complaint about the matter, reached to the cabinet secretary. Even the matter reached to Modi’s ears.

Meanwhile, Rashmi Verma talked about the matter to the senior officials and said if Irani continues with this attitude then it will be difficult for her to work in the same area. Sources revealed that the brawl further erupted as Smriti Irani did some saree shopping and bought a lord Ganesha idol worth lakhs and refused to pay the bill for the same.

Irani then refused to pay the bill upon which Verma said this is her personal expense and Government is not liable to pay for it.
