Congress Poaches MLA Aditi Singh’s Cousin to Join Party in Rae Bareli

Rae Bareli (Uttar Pradesh): In a move to compensate for the possible loss of Rae Bareli MLA Aditi Singh, the Congress has managed to poach her cousin brother Manish Singh, who is all set to join the grand old party on Wednesday.

Manish Singh is the son of Ashok Singh who was once a Member of Parliament (MP) from Rae Bareli. Aditi Singh’s father was the brother of Ashok Singh.

The Congress was searching for somebody in Rae Bareli to fill the vacuum created by the desertion of Aditi Singh.

In Rae Bareli, the Congress had to take the help of the Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) to win the Lok Sabha election in 2019. It did not work in Amethi where former Congress president Rahul Gandhi lost the traditional seat, so Congress is fortifying itself so that the party remains strong at least in the constituency of interim Congress chief Sonia Gandhi.

Manish Singh told IANS from Rae Bareli that he is joining the Congress on Wednesday. Party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who is on a two-day visit to Rae Bareli, will be present on the occasion. (IANS)
