Congress Defends Raebareli, Amethi Choices, Asserts Devastation for BJP
Hours after announcing its candidates for the Raebareli and Amethi constituencies in Uttar Pradesh, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh defended the party's strategy. He emphasized the meticulous planning behind Rahul Gandhi's selection for Raebareli, asserting that the decision has left the BJP and its supporters in disarray.
Rahul Gandhi's Experience and Leadership
Ramesh acknowledged the varied opinions surrounding Gandhi's Raebareli candidacy. However, he highlighted Gandhi's political expertise and strategic thinking, emphasizing that party decisions are made through careful deliberation. He tweeted, His selection has bewildered the BJP, its followers, and their sycophants.
Raebareli's Legacy and Responsibility
Ramesh addressed the significance of Raebareli as a stronghold of the Gandhi family. He stated, This is not a matter of inheritance, but rather a responsibility and duty. He recalled the constituencies' association with both Sonia Gandhi and Indira Gandhi.
National Reach and Electoral Challenges
Ramesh questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's perceived reluctance to contest elections outside his traditional stronghold. He stated, Why has the Prime Minister been unable to demonstrate the courage to contest a seat below the Vindhyas?
Priyanka Gandhi's Campaigning Impact
The Congress leader praised Priyanka Gandhi's campaign effectiveness. He said, Priyanka ji is actively campaigning, exposing Narendra Modi's lies. She has forcefully rebutted his false claims about estate duty. That's why it was vital to free her from constituency constraints.
Smriti Irani's Political Relevance
Ramesh dismissed the significance of BJP's Amethi candidate, Smriti Irani. He remarked, Her political identity revolves solely around contesting elections in Amethi against Rahul Gandhi. Her political significance ends there.
Rahul Gandhi's Chess Analogy
In a video circulating online, Rahul Gandhi likened political strategy to chess. He explained, In chess, controlling the center is crucial. You can apply pressure from different angles. Without understanding the center, you cannot operate strategically. He emphasized the importance of a clear political vision for effective decision-making.
