‘Rae Bareli is now a Modi citadel as time has changed’
The Morning Standard
|May 10, 2024
FOR Dinesh Pratap Singh, the former Congress member poised to challenge Rahul Gandhi as BJP candidate in Rae Bareli in the election, "time is an ever-changing entity."
Confident of his victory over the Gandhi scion in his stronghold, Singh, who comes from a well-known political family in Rae Bareli, believes that the times when Rae Bareli was considered a Congress bastion are long gone. "Now, time has evolved, and so has Rae Bareli. It has transformed into a citadel of PM Modi," he said.
Currently, an MLC and minister in the Yogi cabinet, Singh joined the saffron brigade from Congress in September 2018, driven by political ambitions he felt were unachievable as long as he remained overshadowed by the Gandhis in Rae Bareli. Before his defection, Singh and his four younger brothers were close associates and campaign managers for the Gandhis in the region.
