After years, Sonia ji felt that the Congress Party was in trouble.
The Congress Party was about to break. Many politicians used to come and ask mother to enter politics. I advised you not to go into politics, something will happen to you too. Mother said – If I do not move forward for the party today, I will not be able to answer them and myself. It was decided that she would contest her first election from Amethi, because this was my father’s workplace.
One day she told me that Priyanka, how will I contest the elections? I never contested elections. I told him – I will contest this election, I will handle Amethi.
When my father was martyred, I was angry. I was sad that no one understood our pain, but when we came to Allahabad for the immersion of father’s ashes, the train passed through Amethi.
When the train stopped, I saw that the people and party workers here were in tears. -Were crying bitterly. They were all waiting for us at midnight. All of them had only one thing in common – that they should somehow get the last glimpse of Rajiv ji.
When I saw this, I understood that this was not my only sorrow. Only my mother and brother were not broken. In fact, the people of Amethi were also crying, because their brother and son had also gone.
Therefore, when mother said that I will contest elections from Amethi, I without hesitation said that when I come here, I will I will come among the family.
