The Congress general secretary will launch election campaign for Kishore Lal Sharma Thursday.
The Congress general secretary will hold a meeting with party workers tomorrow evening and will campaign in the rural areas for next three days.
Party’s media in-charge Anil Singh said here on Wednesday the meeting to be held at Tringa Dhaba maidan at 5 pm will be attended by all AICC, PCC, district committee, senior members along with the leaders of the alliance party of Amethi parliamentary constituency.

Earlier, Priyanka campaigned for her brother Rahul Gandhi in Rae Bareli for three days from Monday last.
Meanwhile Union Minister and BJP candidate from Amethi, Smriti Irani, has criticised the Congress party, accusing it of dividing the nation along the lines of religion, caste, and now colour and region. “The audacity of this party to divide and insult countrymen is shocking,” she said.
In a statement here on Wednesday, Irani said that Sam Pitroda’s statement reflects the thinking of Gandhi family and Rahul Gandhi towards the nation.
In an interview with ‘The Statesman’, Congress leader Sam Pitroda said: “We can maintain unity in a diverse country like India, where the people from the East look like Chinese, those from the West resemble Arabs, those from the North look like whites, and South Indians resemble Africans. It doesn’t matter, we are all sisters and brothers.”
