New Delhi | August 18, 2023: In a significant turn of events, the Congress party is experiencing a resurgence following Rahul Gandhi’s return to his parliamentary role. With renewed energy in the party, discussions about Rahul Gandhi’s future electoral strategy are taking center stage. Uttar Pradesh Congress President, Ajay Rai, has now revealed that Rahul Gandhi is set to once again contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections from his former stronghold, the Amethi constituency. This announcement was reported by ‘Aaj Tak’, adding a new chapter to the unfolding political narrative.
Ajay Rai, the freshly appointed head of the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee, made his maiden appearance at the Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport in Varanasi. Welcoming him with an enthusiastic display of drumbeats, party activists celebrated Rai’s new role. Amidst this fervor, Rai seized the moment to share a pivotal piece of news related to Amethi.
The question on everyone’s mind is whether Rahul Gandhi will indeed stand for elections from Amethi. To this query, Ajay Rai provided a definitive affirmation. He stated that Rahul Gandhi’s presence in Amethi is a certainty, driven by the desire of the people themselves. Echoing the sentiments of unity within the Congress ranks, Rai mentioned their commitment to fulfilling Priyanka Gandhi’s aspirations. Notably, Priyanka Gandhi’s guidance will steer their efforts to secure Rahul Gandhi’s electoral victory. Rai also took a dig at Smriti Irani, who had promised affordable sugar prices but failed to deliver on that promise.
The prevalent challenges of unemployment, inflation, and apprehension continue to grip the state. Ajay Rai shed light on the tactics employed by some to instill fear among the populace using agencies like the ED and CBI. He emphasized that such maneuvers aim to sway public opinion but affirmed that the Congress party stands firm in its dedication to conveying the message of love propagated by Rahul Gandhi. This message, extending from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, is poised to reach every household courtesy of the tireless efforts of Congress workers.
Recalling the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, it’s worth noting that Rahul Gandhi had faced a defeat in Amethi against Smriti Irani. However, he had simultaneously entered the fray from the Wayanad constituency, where he secured a resounding victory. As the political landscape evolves once more, all eyes are on Rahul Gandhi’s reentry into Amethi, marking a significant step in his political journey.
