LS polls: Rahul Gandhi to contest from Raebareli, K L Sharma in Amethi


Lucknow, May 3 (IANS): Ending days of suspense, the Congress has finally announced that Rahul Gandhi will contest from the Raebareli Lok Sabha constituency, the seat held earlier by his mother Sonia Gandhi.

The Amethi Lok Sabha seat will be contest by Kishori Lal Sharma, a Gandhi family loyalist.

According to sources, Rahul Gandhi will arrive by a special flight at Fursatganj airport at 10:30 a.m. on Friday and will file his nomination papers at 12:15 p.m.

He will thereafter leave for Pune.

Rahul Gandhi's decision to shift to Raebareli seat has averted a keen contest in Amethi where Union Minister and BJP MP Smriti Irani is seeking a second term.

In Raebareli, he will be facing Dinesh Pratap Singh, a veteran Congressman, who is the BJP candidate.

    Bolar ground report will not work in Amethi. He is smart , he not only avoided getting embarrassed losing in Amethi ,he also blocked Priyanka Gandhi getting into politics till 2029 from rae Bareilly.

    If the pappy alias Rahul Gandhi has the guts to take on the PM on price rise, lies, scandals and electrol bonds, the coward pappu should have gone to Amethi and told the electorate there about the so called misdeeds of the PM, fought the elections and win there. Not run away from Amethi with his tail in-between his legs. Amethi, the so called bastion of the fake Gandhis.

    Only cowards stay 150meters away from public, only cowards don’t make press meet. Only cowards extend poll duration sighting loosing election. Only cowards spend crores and crores to make Opponents weak. Only cowards keep opponents in jail during election. Only cowards use ED, BD, CID to weaken opposition. Only coward welcome fraud corrupt opposition leaders to his party to save themselves from ED and CBI. Rahul is brave and simple. Ready to mingle with rich and poor irrespective of cast and creed. I like him as good human being.
