AAP leader Vishwas takes on Rahul in Amethi

The Aam Aadmi Party today took on the Gandhi dynasty with its leader Kumar Vishwas throwing a challenge to Rahul Gandhi against whom he is expected to contest from this constituency in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.
Taking on Gandhi at a rally in his home turf, Vishwas said the "Rajkumar" had just indulged in "symbolism" by eating in houses of dalits and not raised even a single question related to people of Amethi in Parliament in the past 10 years. He asked the people to vote for an "aam aadmi" (common man) instead of a prince.
A group of protesters waved black flags while some others hurled stones and eggs at two buses ferrying party supporters to the rally venue, in Gandhi Chowk area of the city.

Window panes of the buses got damaged due to the stone pelting and police resorted to mild force to control the mob after which the buses left for the rally venue.
Undeterred by the protests, Vishwas, who has vowed to contest against Rahul in Amethi, said the time has come for the people to get "freedom" from the dynasty.
"Now Amethi is no longer subservient to the dynastic rule. Their reign has gone. Democracy has taken roots and there is freedom," he said while referring to the success of AAP, led by Arvind Kejriwal, in Delhi.

Vishwas, when asked about the protests, said these were "sponsored" and he would defeat Rahul with a "huge margin" in the Lok Sabha polls.

"Why they are doing so. What have I done. Is Amethi a separate country, where I would need passport for visiting," he said at the rally
The AAP leader also targeted Sonia Gandhi, calling her "Maharani" (queen).
"You (electorate)have ensured victory of Yuvraj, Maharaja and Maharani.... Now this is the time you all should elect a servant by pressing the right button....
"If they think that I will leave Amethi if they show black flags and hurl eggs and stones, They are wrong. It's fight between 'aam aadmi' and 'Rajkumar'. I am not going to leave Amethi. I may remain alive or my dead body will leave here in the next three months....We were not afraid when we raised corruption issue of son-in-law of Maharani...," the AAP leader said reffering to Robert Vadra, son-in-law of Congress Chief Sonia Gandhi.
