Aam Aadmi Party leader Kumar Vishwas on Sunday said the Congress has failed the people of Amethi in Uttar Pradesh, and that Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi never raised the problems of his constituency in Parliament even once.

"Rahul Gandhi, prior to elections, turns up in Amethi seeking votes, but when the time comes to work for the people there, he never pays heed," Vishwas said, addressing a public rally in Amethi, about 140km from state capital Lucknow. "Amethi has to decide now. I am an 'aam aadmi' and he (Rahul Gandhi) is a prince. If Amethi wants, it can get rid of dynasty politics. Winning and losing is not the point, but what is important is we are challenging dynastic politics and corruption," the 43-year-old leader said. Vishwas said Rahul Gandhi would spend nights in Amethi to win the sympathy of people in his constituency, but that alone would not solve their problems.

With dynastic politics, Congress has failed Amethi, says AAP's Kumar Vishwas - Hindustan Times

"There are a lot of other problems to which Rahul has paid no heed," he said, explaining that he was firmly resolved to contest the next Lok Sabha elections from Amethi. Read: Jaitley unimpressed with AAP governance Earlier on the day, Vishwas was shown black flags by a group of people, who were protesting against his purported remarks against a religious event, while he was heading to Amethi. Stones and eggs were also thrown at two buses ferrying party supporters to the rally venue, in Gandhi Chowk area of the city. Window panes of the buses got damaged due to the stone pelting and police resorted to mild force to control the mob after which the buses left for the rally venue. Vishwas, when asked about the protests, said these were "sponsored" and he would defeat Rahul Gandhi with a "huge margin" in the Lok Sabha polls. The poet-turned politician was shown black flags by the protesters, who also raised slogans against him, while he was passing through Jagdishpur area along with his supporters. They also burnt effigy of the AAP leader and said that a person, who does not respect religious sentiments, would not be accepted in Amethi. Vishwas has already tendered his apology about the comment on the religious event. The AAP leader said that holding a rally in Amethi is a challenge to "dynasty politics and corruption" Read: AAP to contest UP's all 80 Lok Sabha seats Vishwas was greeted with black flags in Jagdishpur area also. At 10.50am, a group of men waving black flags and shouting slogans against Kumar Vishwas had assembled on the road as the AAP fleet escorting Vishwas and party's spokesperson Sanjay Singh passed Kamrauli in Jagdishpur area, 50 kilomters ahead of the rally venue in Amethi. The protestors claimed that they didn't belong to any organisation and were irked by Vishwas for hurting their religious sentiments. "We will not let someone rule us who has ridiculed Imam Hussain and Bhagwan Shiva in his poetry," a protestor Ali Rizvi said. A shoe hurling attempt was also averted by police at the site. To a query on protest at his press conference on Saturday, Vishwas said: "What is the protest all about? Is it because that Amethi's dynasty politics should not be challenged or is it about the poems that I have read which had hurt the sentiments of certain community, for which I have already apologised." Vishwas on Saturday said if reports that Rahul Gandhi was mulling contesting Lok Sabha polls from both Chikmagalur and Amethi were true, then it would be deemed that he had conceded defeat even before the contest. Read: Cong, AAP workers clash in Rahuls constituency The AAP leader also said that his party would field the "best candidate" against BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, though it would take some time. Speaking ahead of the event on Saturday, Vishwas said that he expected it to be disrupted by activists of other political parties, including possibly the Congress and the Samajwadi Party. Read: Vishwas apologised for Muharram comments: Kejriwal On Saturday, a man, identified later as Saif Jafari, threw an egg in the direction of Vishwas and waived a paper stating that the latter had hurt religious sentiments of both majority and minority communities and it "will not be tolerated". Jafari, a native of Bijnore, was later nabbed by AAP workers and handed over to the police. Vishwas described the incident as a political conspiracy of opposition parties which feel threatened by the growing popularity of the AAP. "If these (opposition) political parties think that by throwing eggs, inks, organising attacks they can win elections they should better look towards Delhi," he said. Vishwas was addressing the press conference after presiding over a function in which over 2000 traders joined the AAP in Lucknow. Even though the AAP will release its first list of candidates for the 2014 general elections after January 15, party sources said Vishwas is most likely to contest from Amethi.

What AAP and his men want to prove, i simply cannot understand. They are behaving as if they are activists. I think, recent so called victory has engulfed them... Here are some excerpts of what he said: 1. I am an 'aam aadmi' and he (Rahul Gandhi) is a prince. If Amethi wants, it can get rid of dynasty politics.

Please Vishwas ji tell me -- Did Narendra Modi born with silver spoon, by the way apart from Gujaratis, every one including you have gifted him only criticism. 2. We will field best candidate against Modi. Tell me Vishwas ji, did you gifted him the popularity he is enjoying or he earned it. He worked hard to reach this place, he worked for people, he was not opportunistic like you are, and plz tell me apart from Anti- Corruption agenda, what are your thoughts on National Issues (Do you have one) 3. Do you agree with your party views on J&K and Maoists?Can we? Even the Paki Army had taken over in Pakistan on the issue of corruption. Our sentiments against corruption should not allow us to be taken for a ride on issues of National Security. Besides whose corruption were they fighting against? The Cong - Is? If so why have they taken their support to form a govt in Delhi. Its nice you go after clerks and Babus for petty corruption. What about the big time Chors sitting pretty after all these scams. You know what you are simply playing into the congress hands and playing with sentiments. Please all AAP suporters do read Chetan Bhagats blog on Times on India today. You enjoyed his books now its the turn to come to reality.

Though dynastic politics started with Congress, it has gradually spread to other regional parties over time, and there is hardly any instance of any successor in such cases having done any good for his / her own constituency. Hence, people should ignore this factor while voting in LS polls of 2014, and choose leaders who have performed well and delivered on their promises. But, I also feel that people may choose a regional party in Assembly polls, but must try to choose one of the major national parties in LS polls as they provide better governance and stability as, unlike regional parties, they has higher stakes in national politics and hence have a big picture. We know how regional leaders like Mamata, DMK's leaders, etc. have done more harm than good to the Union Govts they have been part of. Unfortunately, in a parliamentary democracy, no one can be barred from contesting elections, which is one of its inherent flaws.

Black flags black paints stones eggs have welcomed Kumar Vishwas in Amethi but it has entrenched him a serious candidate in Amethi Lok Sabha elections. There is no wonder that more Kumar Vishwas is belittled more he will spring back in contentions of people of Amethi. No one is invincible in democratic electoral battles as the common man once united can topple the mightiest from their perches of convenience .& conspiratorial connivance.

Is there any rule that dynastic leaders are 100 percent wrong/corrupt ? Can't there be dynastic leaders who wants to continue the good legacy ? Rahul yesterday said in Bangalore " India is too big a nation to belong to one family, one party, it's time for every individual to own India and enjoy the fruits of it's development"

It is nothing new for Congress. They propped up Bhindarawale to counter the Akalis. It came back to haunt the congress. They propped up Bal Thackery against the Mumbai unions. It came back to haunt Congress. And now Congress is propping up AAP to hurt Modi, but this will come back to haunt Congress too. The sad part is that between these proppers and the propped, the nation suffers.

1. Modi never interacts with Media he is like private Godman, not a public figure like AK, Rahul Gandhi who interact with people to know the pulse of people. 2. Modi eliminated Sunil Joshi, Prajapathi & Haryen Pandya his known enemies, so far no murderers caught , clearly indicates he outsourced the job to criminal Gij. Police.

He is disciple of Nithyananda, released his books in Gujarat, regular visitor to Assaram ashram who is a pedophile. 5. Modi loves Yeddi, he single handedly brought him back to BJP, Yeddi was kicked out by Advani last year !!! Teddi murdered his wife, and is immersed in lot of corruption cases. 6.
