Rae Bareli, Oct 23 (TIWN) Manish Singh, cousin of rebel Congress MLA Aditi Singh, here on Wednesday, joined the Congress in presence of party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.

Manish Singh is the son of Ashok Singh who was once a Member of Parliament (MP) from Rae Bareli.   The Congress was searching for somebody in Rae Bareli to fill the vacuum created by the desertion of Aditi Singh.  In Rae Bareli, the Congress had to take the help of the Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) to win the Lok Sabha election in 2019. It did not work in Amethi where former Congress president Rahul Gandhi lost the traditional seat, so the Congress is fortifying itself so that the party remains strong at least in the constituency of interim Congress chief Sonia Gandhi.  Manish Singh told IANS from Rae Bareli that he is joining the Congress on Wednesday. Party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who is on a two-day visit to Rae Bareli, will be present on the occasion.
