Robert Vadra has also openly said that he wants to contest elections, he wants to become an MP, he wants to answer to Smriti Irani by becoming an MP. In a special interview given to India TV correspondent Dinesh Maurya, Robert Vadra said that the people of Amethi and Rae Bareli want him to contest elections from there. He is a member of the Gandhi-Nehru family, hence people have expectations from him. Robert Vadra said that he has done a lot of work in Amethi, has helped the people there a lot. He is confident that if he gets the ticket, he will definitely win. Robert Vadra says that he has conveyed his wish to Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, now the decision has to be taken by the party high command. The decision on Rae Bareli and Amethi has not been taken yet, talks are being held in the family, there will be a meeting with Sonia Gandhi again on Thursday, there will be talks, everything will be finalized soon. It is true that Congress has not announced the name of the candidate from Amethi and Rae Bareli. It is not yet decided whether Rahul Gandhi will contest from Amethi or not. Robert Vadra said that he is a resident of Moradabad, so the people of Moradabad want him to fight from there, but Amethi Rae Bareli is special for him, he has done a lot of work there. Robert Vadra said that Smriti Irani by showing his photo in the Parliament. False allegations are leveled against him, he wants to answer it in Parliament itself. Robert Vadra said that the people of Amethi made a mistake by voting for Smriti Irani, the people of Amethi realize this mistake, this time there will be no mistake, Congress will definitely win there.
Robert Vadra revealed that the issue is being discussed in the family as to whether Priyanka and who among them should contest the elections. However, he himself also said that Priyanka Gandhi is currently more interested in campaigning for Congress than contesting elections. Robert Vadra said that it is a matter of a few days, after which it will be known how and in what form he will enter politics. This is not the first time that Robert Vadra has expressed his desire to contest elections. He has expressed this matter to his family many times, and has also told this to the party through the media many times, but this time the matter seems a little serious. Robert understands that Rahul will not contest from Amethi, once he loses, his ego will not allow him, Rae Bareli seat is also vacant, Sonia Gandhi will not be able to contest the elections. That’s why Robert felt that this time two seats in the family were vacant and he was the only one willing to fight. If Priyanka wants, she can fight from Rae Bareli. That is why Robert Vadra expressed his desire to contest elections from Amethi and made it public that he had told Sonia and Rahul. The problem is that Robert Vadra’s family does not have enough money to ask for a ticket and get it. This is such a case in which even having a son-in-law will not be of much use. Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi have to take the decision together and Priyanka and Rahul are currently in Wayanad.
Rahul in Wayanad
On Wednesday, Rahul Gandhi filed nomination papers from Wayanad. Sister Priyanka Gandhi was also with Rahul but it has not been decided whether Priyanka herself will contest the elections or not. Before filling the nomination, Rahul Gandhi did a big road show. Congress showed its strength in Wayanad, huge crowd gathered in the road show. All the programs of Rahul in Wayanad were arranged by Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal. In Wayanad, Rahul cursed Narendra Modi, BJP, RSS as well as the Left Front. Rahul said that he considered Wayanad as his family but could not solve the problems here because the Left Front government of Kerala did not listen to him. Rahul promised that when Congress government is formed at the Center and the state, he will solve all the issues of Wayanad. Voting will take place in Kerala on 26 April. This time in Wayanad, Rahul Gandhi will face CPI’s Annie Raja and in Kerala BJP state president K. Is from Surendran. Surendran filed nomination papers on Thursday. CPI’s Annie Raja filed her nomination on Wednesday itself. Annie Raja reached the Kolkata office on foot along with thousands of workers. Annie Raja said that Rahul Gandhi is an outsider to the people of Wayanad, does not know their language, does not understand their issues, in the last 5 years Rahul has not talked about Wayanad even once in the Parliament. Annie Raja said that last time people had voted for Rahul because the illusion was spread that Congress was winning and Rahul would become the Prime Minister of the country, now the people of Wayanad have understood the reality. Annie Raja is the wife of CPI General Secretary D. Raja. CPI is part of the anti-Modi front but CPI has fielded a candidate against Rahul Gandhi in Wayanad. Annie Raja is respected as a social worker and also has the vote bank of the Left. BJP is also contesting elections with full strength in Wayanad, hence Rahul may face problems. In the last elections, Rahul Gandhi got 65 percent votes in Wayanad, while the Left got 24 percent. The difference was huge, so Congress people can claim that Rahul Gandhi will win easily but what the CPI candidate says about Rahul Gandhi is very interesting. Annie Raja is asking what Rahul did for this area? Rahul did not take the name of Wayanad even once in Parliament. Annie Raja is also saying that the people here say that they cannot even talk to Rahul Gandhi without an interpreter. What is the use of such MP? Anyway, a lot has changed in Kerala from 2019 to 2024. BJP made the killing of RSS workers a big issue, fought against it, RSS did a lot of work on the ground, BJP’s network has also reached every district of Kerala. Prime Minister Narendra Modi started the election campaign by holding a road show in Kerala itself. Now there will be meetings of PM Modi also. Therefore, Rahul will not get a walkover easily. Congress can definitely get the benefit from the fact that Wayanad has more than fifty percent Muslim population. SDPI has also announced to support Congress this time, hence there is confidence among Congress leaders. But BJP is now also making the support of SDPI an issue because SDPI is called the political wing of PFI (People’s Front of India) and PFI has been banned due to Jihadi terrorist activities.
