Shocker in Amethi: Smriti Irani Trails Congress Candidate in Lok Sabha Elections 2024

Amethi Election Results - Kishori Lal Sharma - Lok Sabha Elections - Rahul Gandhi - Smriti Irani

Biggest upset alert! Smriti Irani is facing a tough battle in the Amethi Lok Sabha elections, trailing by a significant margin against Congress candidate KL Sharma. Get all the juicy details here!

In a surprising turn of events, Smriti Irani, the BJP MP who famously defeated Rahul Gandhi in Amethi in 2019, is now trailing behind Congress' Kishori Lal Sharma in the current Lok Sabha Elections 2024. The Amethi seat, traditionally considered a stronghold of the Congress party, is witnessing a fierce competition as Sharma, a loyalist of the Gandhi family, gains momentum.

Despite her previous victory in unseating Rahul Gandhi in the last elections, Smriti Irani is facing a challenging battle this time. With Sharma leading by over 72,000 votes, the Union Minister of Women and Child Development is struggling to maintain her hold on the constituency. Early results showing a margin of 1,20,461 votes against Irani have caused a stir among political circles.

The unexpected turn of events sees Irani, a prominent BJP figure, in a precarious position as the Congress candidate Sharma threatens her position in Amethi. The current trends indicate a significant setback for the BJP, with the Congress and other parties gaining ground in the region. Will Smriti Irani be able to stage a comeback in the remaining election rounds?

In a surprising twist, the saffron party faces unexpected challenges as Congress-led opposition gains momentum in the election results. The close battle between Smriti Irani and Kishori Lal Sharma continues to captivate political enthusiasts as they await the final outcome. Stay tuned for more updates on this gripping election showdown!
