Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Rahul Gandhi’s commitment to Amethi is called into question by BJP’s Smriti Irani in a caustic attack following his decision to run from Wayanad. r Gandhi is charged by Irani with altering his family for the first time. Lok Sabha elections 2024: Union Minister and Amethi MP Smriti Irani attacked Congressman Rahul Gandhi with a stinging tirade on Friday, April 12. She questioned his dedication to the constituency and chastised him for not paying attention to the Amethi people.
“You all must have noticed that Rahul Gandhi filed his nomination and stated in writing that Wayanad is his family,” the BJP leader (Smriti Irani) remarked. Up until then, everything was fine. Then, we learned from a Karnataka official that Rahul Gandhi claimed the Wayanad people were more devoted.”
Irani further claimed that the Amethi people had carried a worthless MP for 15 years who accomplished nothing and vanished even after winning. He is now accusing Amethi of being unfaithful. You were all really encouraging as well. If Wayanad is his home, will he now define Amethi for him? People have changed color in front of me. I have never witnessed Rahul Gandhi altering his family dynamic before.
Rahul Gandhi defeated Smriti Irani to win the Amethi seat for the third time in 2014. With 46.72% of the total votes cast, Gandhi led Irani with 34.39%. But in 2019, the roles were reversed as Smriti Irani secured 49.71% of the vote, while Gandhi received 43.86%.
The BJP then declared Irani’s candidacies for reelection in Amethi. On the other hand, Gandhi was selected by the Congress for the Wayanad seat in Kerala. Gandhi is fighting in three directions in Wayanad, with Annie Raja of the CPI being his main foe. The BJP has also announced K Surendran as a candidate for state chief.
Election schedule for Uttar Pradesh Lok Sabha 2024 released by Election Commission of India (ECI). There will be seven phases to the elections, which begin on April 19 and end on June 1. On May 20, Amethi is scheduled to cast a ballot in Phase 5.
