Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended his best wishes for a swift recovery to Ajay Rai, the President of the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee, who is reportedly unwell. Rai has been a political opponent of Modi, contesting against him in the Varanasi Lok Sabha elections in 2014, 2019, and 2024.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended his best wishes on Friday for the quick recovery of Ajay Rai, the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee President. Rai, reportedly unwell, has been a recurring opponent of Modi, having contested against him in the Varanasi Lok Sabha elections over the last decade.

Rai stood as a Congress candidate against Modi in three consecutive elections in Varanasi, in 2014, 2019, and 2024, yet was unable to emerge victorious in any of the contests.

In a message posted on X, Modi expressed his concern by stating, ''I have come to know that the president of Uttar Pradesh Congress, Ajay Rai ji, is unwell. I wish him a speedy recovery.''
