Robert Vadra Posts “Ab Ki Baar” Posters in Amethi Amid Congress Choice Suspense

The posters in Amethi proclaim the desire of the people for Robert Vadra to contest in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. The constituency votes on May 20th, with the last day for nomination filing being May 3rd. While the BJP has named Smriti Irani as their candidate, the Congress is yet to announce its pick.

Amethi has been a stronghold for the Gandhis, with it being represented by members of the family in the past. In the 2019 election, Smriti Irani secured a surprise victory over Rahul Gandhi, who later won in Kerala’s Wayanad. Rahul Gandhi is once again contesting from Wayanad, with Amethi’s nomination process open until May 3rd.

Robert Vadra has stirred speculation by expressing confidence in a potential victory in Amethi, should he contest, suggesting a desire for change among the local populace. Posters demanding Vadra as the Congress candidate have surfaced on social media. Smriti Irani has voiced skepticism about Rahul Gandhi’s intentions and accused him of trying to divide people based on caste.

She has encouraged vigilance and cautioned against potential manipulations. The BJP has accused the Congress of arrogance for not announcing their candidate for Amethi, and has highlighted the absence of top Congress leaders at the consecration ceremony of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
