My only religion is to serve people with empathy: Amethi Congress candidate KL Sharma

New Indian Express  

AMETHI: The announcement of the name of Kishori Lal Sharma as Congress candidate from Amethi against Union Minister and BJP leader Smriti Irani took many by surprise both in the Congress and BJP camps as they had expected Rahul Gandhi to be in the fray from his bastion which he had lost in 2019. I have learnt from the Gandhi family that my sole aim and the only religion is to serve people with empathy and compassion,” says the Congress candidate adding that he takes pride in getting selected by the Gandhis for Amethi. Those aware of Amethi politics know him as the manager and representative of the Gandhis since 1983 when the then Amethi MP Rajiv Gandhi had brought him along as a soldier of the youth brigade. Local Congress leaders see it as a strategic move by the party not to let the Amethi election turn into a Smriti vs Rahul contest.
