"Kishori Lal ji has been working for the Congress party for 40 years. The BJP didn't understand that Kishori Lal Sharma has a deep connect with the people of Amethi. His victory was certain. I want to congratulate him. He has really won this in a good fashion. However, to call him "steno" or "PA" is offensive and it should be stopped," said Rahul.
