 "Amethi has decided who to vote: Kumar Vishwas")
Kumar Vishwas, the Aam Aadmi Party's candidate for the Lok Sabha from Amethi, Tuesday criticised his opponents from the Congress and the BJP and said the constituency has decided who to vote for in the polls.
He launched a two-pronged attack at Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi and Bharatiya Janata party's Smriti Irani, both candidates for the Amethi seat in Uttar Pradesh.
"Rahul was already an actor and we have another actor who has come to contest," Vishwas told media when asked about Irani.
Gandhi is already an MP from Amethi and was elected twice in 2004 and 2009.
"I have been staying in Amethi and have spent 40 nights here....Amethi has already decided who they want," Vishwas said.
He also alleged that the Congress and the BJP had struck a deal, because of which BJP fielded Irani from the constituency.
