Amethi: The political atmosphere regarding the Amethi Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh is quite heated these days. Amidst the election atmosphere, the issue of inclusion of Vikas Agrahari, close to Rahul Gandhi, in BJP by Bharatiya Janata Party came to light. When the issue of Vikas joining BJP gained momentum, Congress leaders also became active. After this, Vikas held a press conference and presented his clarification in this matter. He said that I had gone to meet MP Smriti Irani. There I was forcibly made to wear a patka and join the BJP. However, the picture that has emerged of Vikas Agrahari allegedly joining BJP along with Smriti Irani does not show any sense of coercion. He is seen smiling wearing a BJP placard around his neck.
What did Vikas say?
On the matter of joining BJP, Vikas Agrahari has said that there are reports in the media about my joining BJP. I deny these reports. Giving clarification, Vikas said that I am denying because I had not gone to join BJP. I had gone to my MP Smriti Irani for some personal work. I did not know that by wearing a patka and a gamchha, it would be announced that I had joined the BJP. I refute these things and say that I have not joined BJP at all. I was in Congress. I am in Congress and will remain in Congress only.
No Congress candidate from Amethi yet
Congress has not been able to reveal its strategy on Amethi Lok Sabha seat. Whereas BJP declared the name of Smriti Irani in the very first list. Since then, local MPs have been continuously campaigning in the election field. Recently, during the press conference with Akhilesh Yadav, Rahul Gandhi gave a different answer to the question of contesting elections from Amethi. He said that the party will decide. In such a situation, the strategy of Congress is awaited. At the same time, the case of Vikas Agrahari has started gaining momentum.
Have been handling Rahul’s campaign
Vikas Agrahari has been responsible for handling the election campaign on Amethi seat. The matter of his leaving Congress has become heated. On Thursday, Vikas joined BJP in the presence of Union Minister Smriti Irani. During this, BJP District President Ram Prasad Mishra was also present on this occasion. Vikas was seen smiling during this time. He did not oppose it at that time. A smile appeared on the face. Now he is denying the news of joining BJP. After Vikas’s statement, discussion about the captured leader started on social media. At the same time, BJP sources claim that Vikas himself had come to join BJP. Now his statement seems to be a part of different politics.
