Kishori Lal Sharma is considered close to former Congress President Sonia Gandhi.
Who is Kishori Lal Sharma?
Kishori Lal Sharma, the Congress candidate from Amethi seat, has been identified as a leader close to Sonia Gandhi. KL Sharma, originally from Ludhiana, Punjab, has been working as Sonia Gandhi’s MP representative in Rae Bareli for a long time.
KL Sharma, who has been doing organization work in Amethi and Rae Bareli for almost four decades, knows each and every street of these two districts and every Congressman knows him. During the time of Rajiv Gandhi, he was sent to UP to promote the government’s work and since then he remained like that.
For the last twenty-five years, the Gandhi family has been in charge of the campaign in Amethi Rae Bareli, especially from the nomination of Sonia Gandhi. In 2004, when Rahul Gandhi filed his nomination from Amethi for the first time, KL was present there and now twenty years later, he is going to contest elections in place of Rahul from the same Amethi.
