According to the data of the Election Commission so far, Kishori Lal Sharma is ahead of Smriti Irani by 45718 thousand votes. Kishori Lal Sharma has got 146911 votes so far. While Smriti Irani has got 101193 votes. This is a big difference as Irani defeated former Congress President Rahul Gandhi from the same seat in the last election. KL Sharma's full name is Kishori Lal Sharma, who is considered close to the Gandhi family. Originally hails from Ludhiana, Punjab. Sharma entered Rae Bareli and Amethi with Rajiv Gandhi in 1983. Later, after the sudden death of Rajiv Gandhi, his relationship with the Gandhi family became familial and he remained a part of the Gandhi family.
KL Sharma is active in Rae Bareli and Amethi seats
After Rajiv Gandhi's death in 1991, Sharma sometimes handled Sheila Kaul's work and sometimes helped Satish Sharma. In such a situation, Sharma kept visiting Rae Bareli and Amethi regularly. However, when Sonia Gandhi first entered active politics and contested from Amethi, KL Sharma accompanied her to Amethi. When Sonia Gandhi left the Amethi seat for Rahul Gandhi and herself came to Rae Bareli, KL Sharma took charge of both Rae Bareli and Amethi seats.
Loyalty was rewarded
Slowly time passed and Sharma started looking after the parliamentary work of both Rae Bareli and Amethi constituencies. With time people left the Congress, but KL Sharma's loyalty and devotion never diminished. Sharma is considered close to Sonia Gandhi.
However, this is not the only factor. There can be many other reasons behind the current growth. For example, due to working at the grassroots level for a long time, he is well known to the local people in Amethi and Rae Bareli. A glimpse of this can also be seen in the trend so far. Kishori Lal also fits in the caste equation. Let us tell you that in Amethi, Dalits are about 26 percent, Muslims are about 20 percent and Brahmins are about 18 percent. These figures have been revealed by news agency IANS.
