New Delhi: Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi will lose by a big margin in the Lok Sabha polls here, according to survey report. Survey report also said that the biggest losers of the election in Uttar Pradesh will be, besides the Congress, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and the now ruling Samajwadi Party.
Saying a historic campaign was under way in Amethi, Kumar Vishwas said his confidence about his own victory and Gandhi’s defeat came from numerous interactions with voters, mainly in rural pockets.
Survey said that until the advent of the AAP, none of the existing political parties really challenged the Gandhi family in Amethi. The issues in Amethi concern development. There is a place called Shankarganj which has a half-built bridge. It has not been completed for the past seven years.
Amethi has elected to the Lok Sabha members of the Gandhi family since 1980. They include Sanjay Gandhi (1980), Rajiv Gandhi (1984, 1989), Sonia Gandhi (1999) and Rahul Gandhi (2004, 2009). Gandhi family loyalist Satish Sharma was elected in 1991 and 1996. The Bharatiya Janata Party’s Sanjay Singh snatched it in 1998. He later joined the Congress.
Having launched his campaign even before the Lok Sabha election was announced, Kumar Vishwas said he often walked on Amethi’s roads and spent the night in different villages. A poet whose writings have courted him controversy, Kumar Vishwas is a founder member of the Aam Aadmi Party and considered close to former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal.
Survey report said, Aam Adami Party are going to win seats in large numbers. Congress will lose on all the seats (in the state) it holds and it can even win one or two seats from Uttar Pradesh, Report said.
The way Modi is pursuing the campaign and spending a large sum of money, it has increased his visibility a lot. The main opponents to the Congress are the AAP and BJP. The biggest loss in these elections will be to Samajwadi Party and the BSP.
