Rahul Gandhi camp stopped Amethi plan:
After Kishori Lal Sharma filed her nomination from Amethi, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday mocked Rahul Gandhi (Congress leader), saying Rahul Gandhi’s “camp” had nominated her sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and brother-in-law Robert Vadra. Has been pushed aside.
BJP leader Amit Malviya said that the “Rahul Gandhi camp” did not select Robert Vadra for the Amethi seat despite people claiming that he was popular in the UP city.
Malviya said that Priyanka Gandhi (Congress leader) may soon go against the Congress leadership.
Despite having immense popularity in Amethi, Robert Vadra was ignored for the seat. This clearly proves that the Rahul Gandhi camp is systematically sidelining both Priyanka Vadra and her husband in the Congress. It is clear that Congress does not want both of them to remain in the party. How soon before sister rebels?” he wrote on Saturday Morning X.
Will step into politics. Will contest elections from Amethi: Robert Vadra
“Robert Vadra said that as far as my role in active politics is concerned, whenever I have worked for the people, they have always supported me. If the country wants me to always be in politics. If the Congress Party feels that If I can bring about change, I will definitely try to bring about change. It is not necessary that I stand for elections from Amethi only, I can stand for elections from Moradabad and Haryana also.
After hearing about Robert Vadra, speculations started among the people that he wants to contest the Lok Sabha elections from Amethi, the former stronghold of the Congress Party.
Rahul Gandhi has represented Amethi thrice in the Lok Sabha elections. However, in the 2019 elections, he lost the Amethi seat to BJP’s Smriti Irani.
Rahul Gandhi has filed his nomination papers to contest the elections from Rae Bareli, another Congress stronghold, which was vacated by his mother Sonia Gandhi earlier this year.
Former Congress leader Acharya Pramod Krishnam claimed that a conspiracy is being hatched by the Congress against Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
Acharya Pramod Krishnam told ANI that if Rahul Gandhi did not want to contest elections from Amethi then he should have contested against PM Modi from Varanasi.
After Sonia Gandhi left Rae Bareli seat, it is being speculated that Priyanka Gandhi will contest elections from Rae Bareli.
