BJP MP Raghunandan Rao criticised Rahul Gandhi’s remarks on the Election Commission and challenged him to resign from Rae Bareli for a bypoll using ballot papers. He questioned the Congress leader’s win margin and defended the use of EVMs in past elections
After a few moments as he tried to find out what the question was, Gandhi assured it will have to be soon now. "Ab jaldi karni padegi," he said in Hindi.
Addressing his first election meeting in the constituency after his nomination, Gandhi said he was contesting the Lok Sabha election from the seat because his family has deep links with the people here.
With Friday being the last date of filing of nominations, the party is expected to announce its candidates from the two prestigious constituencies tonight.
