The biggest news of Lok Sabha elections is from Uttar Pradesh. The first is that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will file nomination from Varanasi for the third time on May 14. Modi will reach Banaras a day earlier i.e. on 13th May. Will visit Kashi Vishwanath, will do a road show in Varanasi. After this the forms will be filled on 14th May. The second news is that Rahul Gandhi left Amethi seat this time. Rahul will contest elections from Rae Bareli instead of Amethi. Rahul filed nomination forms from Rae Bareli on Friday. Gandhi family confidant Kishori Lal Sharma filed nomination as a candidate from Amethi on behalf of Congress. Priyanka Gandhi will not contest elections, will only campaign. Congress leaders are calling Rahul Gandhi’s decision to contest elections from Rae Bareli instead of Amethi a master stroke, a well-thought-out strategy, while BJP leaders have started calling Rahul as Ranchod Das because of this decision. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that he already knew. He had already told that Shahzade is losing from Wayanad, hence he will search for a new seat after voting in Wayanad. Same thing happened today. Amit Shah also said that when the Gandhi-Nehru family is not able to muster the courage to contest elections from their family seat, then there is no need to tell anyone what will be the condition of Congress in the country. Seeing the pictures of Rae Bareli, it seemed as if Rahul had gone to Rae Bareli to contest elections in a very reluctant manner. Congress people say that Rahul had no desire to contest from either Amethi or Rae Bareli seat but Samajwadi Party put pressure on him. Samajwadi Party leaders are saying that Akhilesh Yadav has put a condition that Rahul and Priyanka should fight from Amethi, its effect will be on the entire state. Late night Rahul decided to fight from Rae Bareli. What is more surprising for the Congress leaders is that Priyanka Gandhi was not made to contest from Rae Bareli. For the last 5 years, Priyanka Gandhi was looking after the work of Rae Bareli constituency for Sonia Gandhi. A perception was beginning to form that Sonia was grooming Priyanka as her successor in this constituency.
Congress leaders say that who will contest from these two seats and who will not contest is the decision of the family and no one can say anything in this. As a result of this decision of the family, Robert Vadra’s dream of contesting elections from Amethi was also shattered. In the last few months, Robert Vadra had repeatedly created the impression in different ways that he was ready to contest elections from Amethi. He also used to say that the people of Amethi wanted him to contest elections from there but the Gandhi family took the decision. Forget Vadra, even Rahul Gandhi left Amethi and chose Rae Bareli. This time Congress has given ticket to Kishori Lal Sharma, an old confidant of the Gandhi Nehru family, from Amethi. Kishori Lal Sharma, resident of Ludhiana, came to Amethi in 1983. At that time Rajiv Gandhi was the Congress MP from Amethi. Since then he has been the manager of the Gandhi family on both Amethi and Rae Bareli seats. However, when Rahul Gandhi lost the elections from Amethi in 2019, Congress leaders held KL Sharma responsible for it, but Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi defended Kishori Lal Sharma. Neither Rahul nor Sonia arrived at the time of nomination filing of Kishori Lal Sharma in Amethi. Sent only to Priyanka Gandhi. Priyanka does roadshow for KL Sharma, seeks people’s support. When Priyanka was asked whether KL Sharma would be able to stand in front of Smriti Irani. So Priyanka said that Sharma had made Sonia Gandhi win from here in 1999, he has been the manager in all the subsequent elections, KL Sharma knows every village and every family of Amethi. Priyanka said that KL Sharma will definitely win.
Sometimes it is surprising to see how our leaders play games with the public during elections. While voting, did the people of Wayanad not have the right to know that Rahul Gandhi would contest from some other seat also? This thing was deliberately hidden from the people of Wayanad. Till the polling was done in Wayanad, Rahul Gandhi kept denying that he would not go to Amethi or Rae Bareli. Everyone in Congress knew that the decision would be taken after Wayanad voting, that is why candidates for Amethi and Rae Bareli were not declared. Now Rahul will fight from Rae Bareli. The people of Wayanad should have known about this before voting. Similarly, the people of Hassan were also cheated. All the leaders, be it Congress or BJP, knew what Deve Gowda’s grandson had done? Everyone had seen Prajwal’s sex videos in the pen drive. BJP has an alliance with JD-S there, it may be a compulsion to remain silent. But Congress had no compulsion. There is a Congress government in Karnataka, they have the police, evidence was available, but everyone kept watching the show silently because it felt that if anything was done now, Vokkaliga votes would be lost. Just think, all these leaders understand that the people of Vokkaliga community will get angry if they take action against a leader who is accused of robbing the honor of hundreds of women! Her home piercer provided the video. What should the voters do? He might have voted for Prajwal Revanna without knowing the whole truth. I think every voter has the right to know the truth before the elections. Be it Wayanad or Hassan, the truth was deliberately hidden from the voters. (Rajat Sharma)
