Uma Bharti may challenge Sonia, Amethi to see Smriti Irani-Rahul Gandhi fight


New Delhi, Mar 28 (Agencies) : Congress's top guns Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul are likely to face a tough challenge in their pocket borough of Raebareli and Amethi. The BJP is set to field former Madhya Pradesh chief minister and firebrand leader Uma Bharti against Congress President Sonia Gandhi while its combative spokesperson Smriti Irani will take on Rahul Gandhi.

Earlier in the day, yoga guru Baba Ramdev had also asked the BJP to field Uma Bharti in Raebareli. "I appeal to BJP to place their strong leader Uma Bharti to fight against Sonia Gandhi in Rae Bareli," he had tweeted.


Party sources confirmed that Ramdev has talked about Bharti with top BJP leaders and made a request about her candidature.
Uma Bharti is presently scheduled to contest from Jhansi in the Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh.

Sources said this will help put up a strong fight to the Congress Vice President in Rae Bareli.
In Amethi it is likely to be a tough triangular contest as the Aam Aadmi Party has fielded Kumar Vishwas who has vowed to defeat Rahul.

Meanwhile, the Samajwadi Party has also changed its candidate in Lucknow. It has replaced its earlier candidate Abhishek Mishra with Ashok Bajpayee for the capital city of Uttar Pradesh on Thursday.

    No use. Both Uma and Smriti will lose miserably. In Ameti, it's fight against Kumar Vishwas and Rahul Gandhi. Uma can just talk and she is not winning candidate. Smriti can talk and act in serials. Nothing else.

    Dear Mr.vittal poojary
    The poor are you and me, Most of the politicians are Multimillionaires.
    For your info: Rajeev Gandhi and Indira Gandhi nation wide institutions and foundations are helping millions of poor Indians on education/health and social needs.

    Dear Vincent
    what are talking ?being insiders She and Mr.Rahul are living one of the best residential area in New Delhi,how many times they have visited the constituence in a year?pl go there and see the condition of poor people there,even after strong leader Mrs.Indiraji's defeat they have not improved the living condition of peopl.how many more years they need to give minimum requirement like drinking water,helthcare,toilets,houses,education to girls etc? enough is enough let them stay inDelhi,this time BJP will try to do something to uplift all the people like Mr.Vajpayee tried in his short period of ruling
    best wishes to Ms.Uma and Smitha

    You and me are worried about what will happen in this case! No, bureaucrats will never allow this, they are with both Congress and BJP, which is why both these parties shy away or reluctant to cross the Laxman-Rekha. Arvind Kejriwal is right in assessing the ground reality.

    If Uma bharathi pitted for Sonia and IRANI for Rahul Gandhi,then I conclude that those two women were clipped to size and history says that BJP and allied groups not want women politician @ fore

    Example

    Uma Bharathi,Shobakka,Vijayaraje Sindhia were kicked out one or other way.Astonishingly,Sushma Swaraj,oppn leader of LS was sidelined quietly from the focus as she would be likely PM stuff in case of any Hallah Gullah against Modi...
