"I am a politician, not a servant of Gandhi family": Congress' Amethi candidate KL Sharma responds to BJP's 'peon' jibe

Congress' Amethi candidate KL Sharma has defended himself as a seasoned politician and not a servant of the Gandhi family, stating that he will defeat Union Minister Smriti Irani in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. Sharma criticized the BJP's increased vote share in Amethi and Raebareli in the 2019 elections, claiming it was a pass muster to distract public attention from the real issues. He criticized the BJP's weaponization of the media against the Opposition and the lack of fulfillment of its promises in the 2014 polls.
