"He Doesn't Run Away": Congress Amethi Pick On "Rahul Gandhi Scared" Claim

On BJP's allegations that Gandhis opted out of Amethi because they were "scared", KL Sharma said that Rahul Gandhi is fighting for the whole country.

The Congress has fielded Kishori Lal Sharma - a longtime loyalist of the Gandhi family - from Amethi which he looked after in their absence.

The Congress decision was announced this morning after weeks of suspense.

Kishori Lal Sharma or KL Sharma thanked the party for the opportunity to contest from Amethi - Gandhis' family bastion - in Uttar Pradesh.
