Rahul Gandhi From Amethi? Congress UP Chief Goes From "Definitely" To... | Read

Hours after asserting that Rahul Gandhi would "definitely" contest the 2024 Lok Sabha polls from Amethi, Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Ajay Rai appeared to qualify his statement and said this was the demand of the people of the constituency. Mr Rai was named the state Congress president yesterday. Answering a reporter's question earlier in the day, the new state chief said, "Rahul Gandhi will definitely contest the Lok Sabha election from Amethi, the people of Amethi are here." When he was asked the same question hours later, however, Mr Rai's answer was a little different. "The Congress workers and people of Amethi are demanding that they want to correct their mistake and ensure a huge victory for Rahul Gandhi," he said.
