"We expect potato prices to drop starting tomorrow", say authorities
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi praised KL Sharma, the party's candidate from Amethi, during a press conference, and criticized those who referred to Sharma dismissively as "steno" or "PA." "The BJP doesn't accord respect to the people," Gandhi stated in response to reporters' questions about the BJP's derogatory remarks.
"Kishori Lal ji has been working for the Congress party for 40 years. The BJP didn't understand that Kishori Lal Sharma has a deep connect with the people of Amethi. His victory was certain. I want to congratulate him. He has really won this in a good fashion. However, to call him "steno" or "PA" is offensive and it should be stopped," said Rahul.
KL Sharma secured the Amethi Lok Sabha seat by defeating the sitting MP and BJP leader Smriti Irani with a victory margin of 1,67,196 votes. Sharma garnered 5,39,228 votes, while Irani received 3,72,032 votes.
Meanwhile, Irani speaking on her defeat in Amethi says, "Will continue serving people."
