"Smriti Irani defenders please note: My sentiments echoed with great fervour within BJP circles. BJP insiders saying much harsher things than me," she tweeted, calling her appointment an eclipse on a bright, shining, rising sun in another tweet. "HRD needs a head who can steer dextrously between Left & Right extremists in academia to define sensible course unfettered by partisan agendas," she further tweeted.
Battling accusations that her criticism stemmed from not being granted favours or a post in the new government, she also attempted to make a case for the independence of her opinion.
"Of all the foolish things Irani supporters alleging that I've turned anti Modi coz i didn't get invite to swearing-in. But i got invite. In fact I wrote a critique of poor arrangements at swearing-in. But I'd have to be very flimsy person to turn against modi over an invite. During last two days I' ve posted several tweets admiring Modi's peace initiatives, swift appointment of SIT for bringing back loot money. I earned the right to criticise Modi for ill-advised appointment coz I had honesty to praise him for great work as Gujarat CM despite facing abuses," she wrote in a series of tweets.
