Lok Sabha election 2024 | Priyanka Gandhi Vadra rallies Congress workers in Rae Bareli, vows to ensure victory for party candidates in Lok Sabha election.
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday addressed a meeting in party workers in Rae Bareli and highlighted the decades old ties the Gandhi family shares with the twin constituencies of Rae Barli and Amethi.
“I am here to manage the election of my elder brother and Kishori Ji. I can recognise every face in the meeting. We will collectively ensure that both the Congress candidates emerge victorious in the Lok Sabha election,” Ms. Vadra said, amid thunderous applauds from the workers. Pointing towards the Amethi Congress candidate, the Congress leader added, “I told him that you managed and campaigned for us in many elections, but this time I promised you [Amethi candidate] that I will campaign for you and make you win.”
Ms. Vadra, who is likely to stay in Rae Bareli and Amethi for ten days, also touched upon how her mother Sonia Gandhi nurtured the constituency and developed a familial bond with the people of Rae Bareli across caste and communities.
“My mother shares a special bond with all of you, her blessings are with me and my brother. We will work for you with equal dedication,” she added.
The Congress on Monday appointed former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel as All India Congress Committee (AICC) senior observers for Rae Bareli and Amethi Parliamentary constituencies respectively.
Earlier after weeks of suspense, the grand old party on May 3 declared that former Congress president Rahul Gandhi will contest the Parliamentary election from Rae Bareli, the constituency held by his mother Sonia Gandhi for the last two decades, and Kishori Lal Sharma, a close aide of the Gandhi family, will contest from the Amethi Lok Sabha segment.
Ms. Vadra in her address alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government is doing Injustice to each and every section of the society with poor and women suffering the most.
