Congress will again be divided into two parts: Acharya Pramod Krishnam
Former Congress leader Acharya Pramod Krishnam said during an interview, 'The way Rahul Gandhi has left Amethi, the morale of Congress workers has fallen. Priyanka Gandhi is not contesting the elections, she is now taking the form of a volcano in the hearts of her supporters which will erupt after June 4. Congress will again be divided into two parts. One will be of Rahul Gandhi, while the other will be of Priyanka Gandhi. I think Rahul Gandhi should contest elections from Rawalpindi instead of Rae Bareli, because his popularity and demand is increasing in Pakistan.
Kishori Lal Sharma is contesting elections from Amethi
Let us tell you that Amethi and Rae Bareli Lok Sabha seats of Uttar Pradesh have been the stronghold of Congress. In the Lok Sabha elections 2019, Rahul Gandhi lost the Amethi seat, but won the other Wayanad seat. This time too there was speculation that the Gandhi family would contest from both Amethi and Rae Bareli seats, but apart from Wayanad, the party has fielded Rahul Gandhi from Rae Bareli, while Kishori Lal Sharma has been given the ticket from Amethi seat. However, Priyanka Gandhi is not contesting the elections.
