Congress Leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra Rallies for K L Sharma in Amethi

Amethi, India - Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Friday rallied for party nominee K L Sharma in Amethi, emphasizing her party’s commitment to fight the election on the strength of the people, in contrast to its rival, which she hinted was the BJP, known for leveraging money power.

Arriving at the Congress office in Gauriganj directly from Fursatganj airport, Priyanka was accompanied by other party leaders, including her brother Rahul Gandhi and her mother Sonia Gandhi. She expressed her desire to “bring back the politics of truth and service.”

The Congress party announced on Friday that Rahul Gandhi would be its candidate from Rae Bareli, a constituency previously represented by Sonia Gandhi until her election to the Rajya Sabha.

“These people contest the election through money power and we will contest on the strength of the people. Now the time has come to give a message to the entire country that we want politics of sewa,” Priyanka said.

She praised Kishori Lal Sharma, who has worked in the Amethi and Rae Bareli constituencies for 40 years, and urged the people to repose their faith in him. “Kishoriji knows well the constituency, its people as well as the problems of the area. He has worked here for 40 years and in this election you will work wholeheartedly to ensure the win,” she said.

In an earlier post on social media, Priyanka welcomed Sharma’s candidature from the Congress bastion. “Our family has a long-standing relationship with Kishori Lal Sharma ji. He has always been engaged wholeheartedly in serving the people of Amethi and Rae Bareli. His passion for public service is an example in itself,” she wrote.

She expressed her happiness that Shri Kishori Lal ji has been made the candidate from Amethi by the Congress Party. “Kishori Lal ji’s loyalty and dedication towards his duty will definitely bring him success in this election,” the Congress general secretary said.
