Vandalism Strikes Near Congress Office in Amethi, Allegations Fly Amidst Election Heat

GG News Bureau
Amethi, 6th May. In a tumultuous turn of events, several vehicles parked near a Congress office in Gauriganj, Amethi, fell victim to vandalism allegedly perpetrated by BJP workers overnight. The Congress wasted no time in pointing fingers at sitting MP and BJP candidate Smriti Irani, accusing her of orchestrating the attack and labeling it as an act of desperation.

The scene of shattered windscreens and damaged cars prompted the Congress to denounce the incident as an assault on democracy itself.
A video circulated by the party late last night painted a grim picture of the situation, accusing BJP affiliates of wielding sticks and rods to intimidate Congress workers and local residents. The post on social media platform X lambasted the BJP and Smriti Irani, painting a picture of fear and chaos in Amethi’s political landscape.

The Congress’s narrative was further fueled by allegations of police inaction during the episode, strengthening their assertion of foul play by their political adversaries. However, the BJP swiftly rebutted these claims, dismissing them as a ploy to garner sympathy votes and urging the Election Commission to intervene and unveil the truth behind the vandalism.

As the political drama unfolds on the eve of Amethi’s voting day in the third phase of the Lok Sabha polls, local residents voiced their concerns to law enforcement, questioning the breach of conduct amidst heightened electoral sensitivity.

The Congress’s strategic move of fielding grassroots worker KL Sharma as its candidate in Amethi was met with scrutiny from the BJP, with Smriti Irani herself suggesting it as a sign of concession from the Gandhis. The absence of Rahul and Sonia Gandhi from the electoral fray was perceived as a tactical retreat by the BJP, bolstering their confidence in clinching victory.

Sharma, poised to carry the Congress banner forward in Amethi, expressed his dedication to serving the people, echoing the sentiments of the party’s enduring commitment to the constituency.

As the dust settles on the vandalized streets of Amethi, the battle for political supremacy rages on, with each side vying for the upper hand in a contest fraught with tension and intrigue.
