Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Friday highlighted the decades old ties the Gandhi family shares with Amethi. Ms. Vadra requested voters to support the Congress candidate and described Amethi as her late father’s ‘karmabhoomi’ and her own ‘holy land’.
“The relation [between the Gandhi family and people of Amethi] is a holy bond, a relation of mutual respect and love; it is a bond of blood. Amethi is my father’s karmabhoomi and hence a holy land for me. The Congress Party has a decades old bond with this land and its people, whose intimacy always gives new energy to us. When I meet the people of Amethi, memories of the last four decades flash in my mind. This relationship will never break,” Ms. Vadra said, addressing a public meeting at Salon Assembly segment under Amethi district.
Without naming sitting MP Smriti Irani, the Congress leader added that the relationship between the Congress and the people of Amethi was such that even “2,000 false narratives” could not break those ties.
