Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi says, those who are fighting against Rahul Gandhi have ulterior motives. Campaigning for her brother in Amethi, Priyanka said Rahul Gandhi has been working for the area with honest intentions like their father and former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. But the same cannot be said about his rivals, she said. Invoking her family's long association with the constituency, she said outsiders will not understand.

Smriti Irani of BJP and Kumar Vishwas of AAP are fighting against Rahul, making the contest much keener than previous elections.
