Meanwhile, Vadra, the businessman, expressed his desire to contest the elections by saying that the entire country wants him to enter active politics.
They want my political record in the country
Speaking after participating in the Ganga Aarti at Rishikesh Triveni Ghat, Vadra said that voices are being heard from the entire country that he should join politics. They want me to enter active politics because I am always among the people of the country. People always want to see me in their area. I am campaigning in Amethi since 1999. He criticized the current Member of Parliament Smriti Irani for not fulfilling her promises.
Congress wins
