No revenge in politics; it's about sportsmanship in wins and losses: Kishori Lal Sharma
Congress' newly-elected Amethi MP Kishori Lal Sharma on Wednesday said the constituency for him was like an "amanat" of the Gandhi family and he would ensure there is no "amanat mein khayanat (breach of trust)".
Sharma, who emerged as a giant slayer by defeating sitting BJP MP and Union minister Smriti Irani by a margin of over 1.67 lakh votes, does not see his victory in terms of a "revenge" of the defeat inflicted on Rahul by Irani in 2019 in the constituency.
"There is no revenge in politics. It is like sportsmanship, one has to win and the other loses. We don't see things in terms of revenge and all," Sharma told PTI in an interview.
He said Rahul has to decide which constituency he will represent in Lok Sabha though he would want the former Congress chief to keep the Rae Bareli seat. Talking about his win from Amethi, Sharma said it is a victory of the people of Amethi and the Rahul family. Sharma said the Amethi constituency is the 'amanat' of the Gandhi family and he would ensure that there is no "amanat mein khayanat (breach of trust)".
