AMETHI (Utrar Pradesh), May 16, 2024 (TBINN)
Election in Amethi are unfolding like a slow-burn Alfred Hitchcock thriller with Bhartiya Janta Party’s high-profile Smriti Irani and the relatively unknown Kishori Lal Sharma of the Congress locked in a fierce contest heading towards a difficult to predict climax.
What should be a conventional ending has turned out to be a nail biter with Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s spirited campaign for Congress scripting possible twists and turns in the absorbing electoral battle.
Irani was the quintessential ‘outsider’, albeit from the Bhartiya Janta Party powerhouse, in 2019 when she beat former Congress’ president Rahul Gandhi in the constituency long considered the party’s very own.
Five years later, Rahul Gandhi has moved to nearby Rae Bareli and Gandhi Family aide Sharma is up against the incumbent B.J.P. M.P.’s star power.
