Congress KL Sharma to Contest against BJP's Smriti Irani in Amethi
The Congress party has revealed its contenders for the crucial Amethi and Raebareli seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh. Kishori Lal Sharma, a trusted aide of the Gandhi family, will stand from Amethi, while Rahul Gandhi will contest from Raebareli. Sharma, with over four decades of allegiance to the Congress, steps into the political fray alongside a powerful opponent, BJP's Smriti Irani, in Amethi. This move signifies the Congress's resolve to reclaim its traditional strongholds. A Veteran Congress Figure: Kishori Lal Sharma Originally from Ludhiana, Punjab, Kishori Lal Sharma joined forces with the Congress in 1983, aligning with Rajiv Gandhi. Following Rajiv Gandhi's demise in 1991, Sharma's association with the Gandhi family deepened. He played a pivotal role in managing affairs in Amethi and Raebareli, especially during the absence of the Gandhis. Sharma's Influence in Amethi and Raebareli Sharma's journey in Amethi began in the 1990s when the Gandhi family opted out of electoral politics. He actively campaigned for Congress candidates during this period. Notably, Sharma was instrumental in Sonia Gandhi's electoral debut from Amethi in 1999. After Sonia Gandhi shifted her focus to Raebareli, Sharma followed suit, continuing his support in her electoral endeavors. With Rahul Gandhi's entry into politics, Sharma expanded his responsibilities to manage both constituencies. Beyond Amethi and Raebareli, Sharma's involvement in Congress activities in Bihar and Punjab showcases his commitment to the party's cause. 45 Royal Families Extend Support to PM Modi Ahead of Lok Sabha Elections Trinamool Congress Accuses Congress Leader of Promoting BJP Agenda Traditional Congress Strongholds Amethi and Raebareli have long been bastions of the Gandhi family. However, in the 2019 elections, Rahul Gandhi faced defeat in Amethi against Smriti Irani, signaling a shift in dynamics. Election Dynamics The upcoming elections on May 20 hold immense significance for both Congress and BJP. Sharma's nomination in Amethi and Rahul Gandhi's candidacy in Raebareli underscore Congress's determination to regain lost ground. Kishori Lal Sharma gears up to file his nomination from Amethi, ready to challenge BJP's Smriti Irani in what promises to be a closely watched electoral battle. Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi seeks to reclaim the family stronghold of Raebareli, setting the stage for a high-stakes electoral showdown.
