Amethi ticket to little-known Congman

This newspaper was the first to report on the buzz about Rahul entering the fray from Rae Bareli (April 30 edition).

With Rahul opting for Rae Bareli, the party gave the Amethi ticket to family faithful Kishori Lal Sharma, 63. Little is known about him except that he is a low profile operative and an errand boy of the Gandhi family in Rae Bareli. He, too, filed his papers.
