Congress Top Sources Tell CNN-News18 That It Is Very Likely That 'Gandhis Would Fight From Up'
So breaking news now coming in straight from Uttar Pradesh? Well, we are learning from Uttar Pradesh Congress sources which has given out a proposal at CC meet yesterday to make Gandhis fight from two of the crucial constituencies which are a meeting and Rai Bareilly with a question of who is going to contest from these two seats continue to loom over the Congress party. Remember yesterday was the crucial CC meet. We have seen a News 18 Senior editor Pallavi Ghosh also joining us on the phone line to bring us more details about that Pallavi. First bring us all the highlights about what exactly were discussed. In the CC meet yesterday and if the suspense over Amethyst and rivalry can end soon, well the suspense still continues to be been told in a day or two there is going to be some clarity and announcement. So at the CECBT yesterday once again the UP Congress chief was called in and once again he on behalf of the people in Uttar Pradesh Congress, he pushed forward their entire points at both Rahul Gandhi as well as Peter Gandhi. Vadra must be fitted from either Amethi or rivalry or sources are telling us in that well Sonia Gandhi was present at the meeting. She did not say anything. The final decision will be taken by the Gandhis and by the Congress President and I think actually that is the clarity which we could possibly expect tomorrow or maximum Tuesday. Also Pallavi earlier today we told our viewers that we are learning from the sources that. One suggestion was also put on the table to make Priyanka Gandhi Vandra contest against Smriti Irani from Amethi. If at all it becomes a battle of women versus women, what advantages Priyanka holds over Smriti Irani except for Congress having the stronghold on the seat of Amethi in the past? There are various permutation and combinations which are being booked upon one of course because Rahul Gandhi has been accused by the BJP of running away from Amethi. How well explained in case he does not contest from there. But Raibareli has been a constituency which has often been fought by Indira Gandhi then so there can be and then its going to believe that you know the ability passes on to Rahul Gandhi. Well, Amiti is going to be a challenge and there is a sense that, you know, you make it Smriti versus Priyanka Gandhi. Vadra, you first play the woman card. Second is unlike Rahul Gandhi, she doesn’t have a baggage of loss in Amethi. So that card cannot be played against her. Sir. She’s a very aggressive communicator. So feels that, you know, she can go there, she can communicate. She has been visiting Amiti also in the past when her mother was an MP from there and even her brother was. So that is an advantage which the Congress party is Malay, right. Pallavi, thank you so much for working through all those crucial updates on that very crucial news break about who is going to contest from amateurs.
