Amethi and Rae Bareli seats of Uttar Pradesh are in the headlines these days. Will Rahul Gandhi once again contest elections from Amethi or not? Will Priyanka hold the Gandhi family’s Rae Bareli Lok Sabha seat? Or this time, apart from the Gandhi family, a new face may be seen on these seats. All the suspense can end in two days between ‘yes’ or ‘no’. In view of the last date of nomination, Congress will have to take a decision on this soon, albeit out of compulsion.
Voting for Rae Bareli and Amethi seats is to be held in the fourth phase on May 20, the last date for nomination of candidates for this is May 3. In such a situation, Congress will have to declare the names of candidates from this seat within the next two days. For the past several days, there has been speculation about Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi on these seats, but if sources are to be believed, both will not contest elections on these seats. Rahul is already contesting from Wayanad while Priyanka Gandhi will not contest the elections, she will only campaign.
Confusion regarding Amethi-Rae Bareli will end!
BJP has once again given ticket to Union Minister Smriti Irani on Amethi Lok Sabha seat. Smriti Irani also filed her nomination papers on 29 April. During this, he demonstrated his strength and took out a road show, in which Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav also participated. However, BJP has also not yet declared its candidate from Rae Bareli seat. BJP is also keeping an eye on Congress’s move.
Recently, in the Congress CEC meeting, the state committee members had urged the top leadership that Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi should contest the elections, but the party has not yet taken a decision on this. Congress workers believe that Rahul Gandhi should contest elections again in Amethi and after Sonia Gandhi goes to Rajya Sabha, Priyanka Gandhi should take over the family legacy.
Rahul Gandhi has been MP from Amethi Lok Sabha seat from 2004 to 2019. However, last time in 2019, Smriti Irani from BJP defeated him. Smriti Irani is continuously campaigning from Amethi with full force and is continuously attacking Rahul Gandhi. But, now the countdown for nominations on these seats has started. The whole picture will become clear in two days.
