Congress will repeat the history of 2009 – Ajay Rai
Significantly, on Friday, the newly appointed President of Uttar Pradesh Congress Ajay Rai said in Varanasi that Rahul Gandhi will contest from Amethi. Also said that Priyanka Gandhi can contest elections from wherever she wants in the state. Amethi has been the stronghold of the Nehru-Gandhi family for decades. Before Rahul contested in 2004, the seat was represented by Sanjay Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi. Ajay Rai further said that Congress will repeat the history of 2009. Then the party had won 22 Lok Sabha seats in UP. The base of Congress has increased in the state. The public is troubled by the anti-people policy of the BJP.
Priyanka Gandhi can contest from Varanasi if she wants – Ajay Rai
Rahul Gandhi is currently an MP from Wayanad in Kerala. Ajay Rai, who continuously contested against PM Modi from Varanasi Lok Sabha, said that Smriti Irani is looking disappointed. He had said in the election that press the lotus button and take sugar worth Rs.13 per kg. The people of Amethi are now searching for that sugar, who ate that sugar, whether Smriti Irani ate it, or whether CM Yogi or PM Modi ate that sugar. Did he manage it? He further said that if Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi wants to contest from Varanasi, then every worker will work wholeheartedly for her.
Made this claim regarding Amethi
In response to whether Rahul Gandhi is ready to contest from Amethi or not, Ajay Rai said that “Whether he will contest the election or not, it will be decided by Rahul ji and our central leadership. I am the state president of UP, so I would say that the people there We are demanding, our workers have also said that we will give our lives. We want Rahul Gandhi from here. We will make him win the election with a huge majority at any cost.”
Ajay Rai claimed that today the general public is fed up with the BJP. What he had said that good days will come, are these good days there. Today the inflation has become so high. Now people want Congress to come, the leadership that Rahul Gandhi ji led from Kanyakumari to Kashmir has instilled a belief in the general public that this family is really a companion of our happiness and sorrow. The general public is seeing the struggle that Rahul Gandhi is fighting.
