NEW DELHI: The BJP is strongly considering fielding Sanjay Singh against Rahul Gandhi in Amethi.
If Singh is nominated by BJP, the Congress vice-president will face an opponent who's a flamboyant, wealthy and controversial local leader, who used to be a close friend of Gandhi's father, Rajiv Gandhi, and who's also currently a Congress MP.
A very senior BJP leader confirmed to ET that Singh, currently Congress MP from Sultanpur and often called the 'raja' of Amethi, is being strong candidate to give tough fight to Congress MP, Rahul Gandhi in elections 2014.

Dinesh Singh Rawat Says: BJP will try to entangle Congress main poll campaigner, Mr. Rahul Gandhi in his own constituency by fielding Raja' of Amethi, Mr. Sanjay Singh against him.I considered that it may bring wining margin of Mr. Gandhi to some extend low but do not have potential to give him tough fight in Amethi.But I would say it will be a smart move in the part of BJP to put psychological pressure on Congress and woulf not bother Gandhi in Amethi.
