A BJP Leader Called Him "Gandhis' Chaprasi", Congress's Amethi Pick Replies | Read

Gearing for his big poll fight against Union Minister Smriti Irani in Amethi, Congress candidate Kishori Lal Sharma said he still wants party leaders Rahul Gandhi or Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to contest from the prestige seat as it is a "part of their legacy". On the campaign trail for the May 20 election, NDTV caught up with Mr Sharma for a chat. Mr Sharma has served as an MP's representative in Amethi and Raebareli and has been closely linked with the Congress's poll campaigns there for about four decades. Asked how it was different this time, he replied, "I am the same as before. This time, the leadership has given me a different role and I am working accordingly."
