Congress' Supriya Shrinate Not Fielded From Her 2019 Seat Of Maharajganj | Lok Sabha Elections

And amid the tax troubles, now what we are learning is that if you look at the latest Congress list that has come out, its a very interesting development coming in from the grand old party with the seat of Maharajganj in Uttar Pradesh has now gone to Virendra Chaudhary. Now this is the same seat in Uttar Pradesh that was contested by Supriya Srinid back in 2019. So what is the inside story there? Because with the latest list that has come out with the Congress party, the seat of Maharaj Ganj has now gone to another Congress candidate who is Virendra Chaudhary. The question remains that this is the same seat that was contested by Supriya Srinid in 2019. Why hasn’t this seat gone to her? Is the big question. So the tussle continues in the wake of the Kangana remarks from ladies gentlemen. Remember Supriya Srinet social media handle was used to promote that very objectionable statement on BJP candidate Kangana Ranaut. And now what we are learning is that in the latest Congress list, the seat of Maharajganj, which Supriya Srinet contested in 2019, has gone to another candidate. His name is Virendra Chaudhary and I’m joined by my colleague Pallavi Goes to get more context in this news that’s coming in from the Congress camp. Pallavi, over to you. What’s the inside story? See no one of the Congress party at this point of time. Ayushman is willing to comment on this. But the results come as a little bit of a surprise. In 19 2019 she contested from Maharaj Gun which traditionally had been her family. See her father was an MLA from Maharaj Gun at one point of time. He was also a member of parliament long time back from Maharaj Gun. So one was expecting that shes going to be contesting from here also. In fact when we had asked her this question earlier, she said that shes ready for any fight even in Lok Sabha. Now this shows up two questions. One is that is it the Kadena Ranaut controversy which could have been the reason why she is not going to be contesting from a seat which is considered to be extremely tough. But again Ayushman, I would be a little reticent on that because clearly the Congress party is somewhat in her defence. The second thing is that is she going to be feeded from any other important constituency. That is also going to be another important thing to watch out for, right? But given the fact that the speculation continues about Amethi and Raibareli Pallavi, what is the rumbling in that direction? But you know that the point is that today Ajay Rai who is also going to be contesting from Banaras and he’s been of course as we all know associated with Uttar Pradesh Congress give a statement. But he says no decision has been taken on Amethi and Raibareli. There’s no denying the fact Ayeshwan Amethi is a very tough seat because Smriti Irani has completely strengthened her position there And if Rahul Gandhi or someone on the Gandhi family contest from there and lose the second time round, it will be seen as a huge embarrassment. Now Raib really the other big suspense because the BJP has made it very clear that they are going to feel the strong candidate from there after Sonia Gandhi is departure. Can the memory of the Indira Gandhi factor and Sonia Gandhi really helped the Gandhi family to bail themselves out. This showed up. The speculation is that that Supriya she made mean that she could be contesting from any of these constituencies. Is that the reason why shes opted out of Maharaj bench right? Well, have to wait and see how that plays out.
