Robert Vadra Contemplates Political Role by Contesting From Amethi

Robert Vadra, the husband of Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, expressed his inclination towards joining politics, stating that he is receiving support from party workers across the country. He mentioned receiving calls of support from Amethi in Uttar Pradesh and noted the appearance of his posters in various places, indicating a growing recognition of the hard work they have put in thus far. Amethi, historically a stronghold of the Gandhi family, was won by Smriti Irani in 2019.

Vadra believes that the people of Amethi are looking to rectify the “mistake” they made in the previous election and that they would support him if he decides to contest. He stated that the people feel they have the option to correct their past decision and expressed confidence in securing a victory with a significant margin. Vadra emphasized that he has no intention to challenge anyone and also expressed his willingness to support Rahul Gandhi should he decide to contest from Amethi.

Furthermore, Vadra highlighted that he does not necessarily need to be in active politics in order to interact with the people, as they can always approach him if Rahul or Priyanka are not available. He also mentioned that he would extend his full support if Rahul Gandhi decides to contest from Amethi.
