Lok Sabha Elections: Congress leaders are projecting 'expert chess player' Rahul Gandhi's decision to contest elections from Rae Bareli instead of Amethi as a big political move. It is being claimed that this move of Rahul Gandhi will defeat all four opponents, but in real life, Russian Grandmaster Garry Kasparov, a chess champion, has given advice to Rahul Gandhi without taking his name. In response to a post on social media, Garry Kasparov has written that before challenging for the top post, you will have to win from your traditional seat Rae Bareli.

Rahul had told Kasparov his favorite chess player

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's favorite chess player Garry Kasparov has reacted to his fondness for the game by saying 'win in Rae Bareli before challenging at the top level'. This 61-year-old former great Russian player had announced his retirement from competitive chess in 2005. He was replying to a user's post on 'X'. Congress had recently posted a video of Gandhi playing chess on his mobile phone during the Lok Sabha election campaign. In this video, Gandhi described Kasparov as his favorite chess player and drew parallels between sports and politics.

Kasparov later wrote, it was a little joke

In the video, Rahul Gandhi had described himself as the best chess player among politicians. On this, a user of 'X' cheekily wrote, 'Feeling very relieved that Kasparov and Vishwanathan Anand said goodbye to the game early and they did not have to face the greatest chess genius of our time.' Responding to this post, Kasparov said, 'Before challenging the top level, you should win against Rae Bareli.' However, Kasparov later also wrote that it was a small joke, and he would have tried his hand at chess. Would like to see it happen.

Kasparov is known as a vocal critic of Putin.

Let us tell you that Rahul Gandhi filed his nomination from Rae Bareli in Uttar Pradesh on Friday. He is also contesting from Wayanad, Kerala. Let us tell you that Russian Grandmaster Garry Kasparov is a former world chess champion. He is also a writer and political activist. Kasparov is a vocal critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin and lives outside his country in Croatia. His post is being discussed in India because many Congress leaders had praised Rahul Gandhi as an expert chess player, including Jairam Ramesh and Supriya Srinet.

‘Rahul Gandhi is an experienced player of politics and chess’

After Rahul's nomination from Rae Bareli, Ramesh wrote on social media, 'Many people have different opinions on the news of Rahul Gandhi contesting elections from Rae Bareli, but he is an experienced player of politics and chess and makes his moves thoughtfully. Are. The party leadership has taken such a decision after much deliberation as part of a larger strategy. With this decision, BJP, its supporters and sycophants have collapsed. Poor self-proclaimed Chanakya, who used to talk about 'traditional seat', does not understand what to do now? There are a few chess moves left, wait a little more.’

‘Don’t forget, Rahul ji is an expert chess player.’

Apart from Jairam Ramesh, party spokesperson Supriya Shrinet also said that Rahul is a chess player. He also posted on social media and wrote, 'Ever since the news of Rahul Gandhi contesting from Rae Bareli has come, there have been a lot of comments from all sides. Don't forget, Rahul ji is an expert chess player. With just one move, BJP and its foot magnets have become unconscious.
