Ajay Rai became the new president of UP Congress
congress is also active in Uttar Pradesh before the lok sabha elections. The congress has appointed former mla ajay Rai as
the president of the Uttar Pradesh congress Committee. congress leader ajay Rai has twice contested the Lok Sabha
elections from varanasi against prime minister Narendra Modi. He contested the elections first in 2014 and then in 2019.
ajay Rai has replaced Brijlal Khabri in UP Congress. Let us tell you that Uttar Pradesh with 80 seats is very important in terms
of lok sabha elections. But the condition of the congress, which is continuously losing the elections, is very bad here. In the
2019 elections, the congress had even lost its traditional and safest seat, Amethi. In such a situation, reuniting the scattered
organization and preparing the party cadre before the lok sabha elections will be ajay Rai's biggest challenge.
In the 2019 lok sabha elections, the congress could win only the Rae bareli seat in UP. sonia gandhi is the mp from here.
Even in the 2022 assembly elections, the congress was reduced to only two seats.
Who is ajay Rai?
Born in varanasi on october 19, 1969, ajay Rai has been an mla for five consecutive terms. After joining bjp in the year
1996, he was mla till 2007. After this, due to differences with the bjp high command, he joined the Samajwadi Party. In the
year 2009, he contested the election of mp against murli manohar joshi and lost. After this there were not many days left
here also and independents won the by-election from Pindra and became MLA. Later he joined Congress. It is said about
ajay Rai that he wins elections on his own strength and the party benefits from it. But in the last few elections, he has been
facing defeat continuously. He is considered to have a good penetration in the Bhumihar community of Purvanchal. Perhaps
thinking this, the congress has reposed faith in him.
