Former Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Friday made an emotional appeal to Raebareli voters for her son Rahul Gandhi who is contesting the seat.
Sonia Gandhi Makes An Emotional Appeal To People Of Raebareli For Rahul Gandhi
Sonia Gandhi arrived halfway through a joint rally, addressed by Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, in Raebareli and started her speech with, “My head bows before you because you allowed me to serve you as MP. Raebareli is family for me – just like Amethi.”
She said that she had many pleasant memories of her family’s old relationship with Raebareli. “These memories are pious like Ganga Maa. Indira ji had a special place for Raebareli in her heart. I gave Rahul and Priyanka the same lessons that I had learnt from Indira ji and Raebareli, the foremost being compassion for the poor,” Sonia Gandhi said at the public meeting.
“I have taught them not to fear if they encounter difficulties in serving the people. I am handing over my son to you. Like you considered me yours, bestow the same love and affection to him. Rahul will not disappoint you,” she added.
