LS Polls 2024: Fierce Electoral Battle in Amethi | Smriti Irani Vs KL Sharma | What Locals Think

The Amethi Lok Sabha constituency in Uttar Pradesh will be one of the most watched seats in the fifth phase of voting in the ongoing general elections on May 20.

The seat was in the headlines due to the uncertainty over who the Congress will field from the constituency against sitting MP and Union minister Smriti Irani.

There were speculations that the grand old party may field either Rahul Gandhi or Priyanka Gandhi Vadra from the constituency against Smriti Irani.

Putting all the speculations to rest, the Congress announced Gandhi family loyalist Kishori Lal Sharma as its candidate from the constituency... on the last day of nomination for phase 5.

KL Sharma will be faced with stiff opposition from Smriti Irani in Amethi.

While Sharma has focused on raking up his and the Gandhi family's connection with the constituency, Irani is questioning the Congress on what it has done for the constituency so far.

Oneindia Team talks to locals in Amethi and know their opinions on this fierce battle.

Iranā€™s Revolution Began in India? Khomeiniā€™s Ancestral Link to Uttar Pradesh Sparks Global Curiosity

After the 12-day Israel-Iran war, an unexpected village in India has entered global focus. Kintoor, a village in Uttar Pradesh, is the ancestral home of Iranā€™s first Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. His grandfather, Syed Ahmad Musavi, was born there before migrating to Iran in the 1800s via Iraq, retaining ā€œHindiā€ in his name to honor his Indian roots. Khomeiniā€™s rise from this legacy shaped modern Iranā€™s theocratic system. As geopolitical tensions rise, Kintoorā€™s forgotten link now highlights a deep historical and cultural bridge between India and Iran. #IranSupremeLeader #Khamenei #Khomeini #IndiaIranRelations #KhomeiniIndianRoots #KhameneiSpeech #IranIndiaTies #MEAIndia #KhameneiOnIsrael #SupremeLeaderIran #IranianPolitics #KhameneiRemark #KhomeiniHistory #IranIsraelTensions #KhameneiStatement #IranIndiaNews #IranIndiaDiplomacy #IndianRoots #KhameneiIndia #MiddleEastPolitics ~GR.124~HT.408~
