Amidst swirling speculations, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, stalwarts of the Indian National Congress, are rumored to be considering filing their nominations from Uttar Pradesh’s prominent Lok Sabha seats, Amethi and Raebareli, respectively. Sources suggest that prior to formalizing their candidacies, the Congress leaders may embark on a visit to Ayodhya, seeking blessings from Ram Lalla at the revered Ram Mandir.

While Rahul Gandhi is already contesting the Lok Sabha elections from Kerala’s Wayanad seat, scheduled for polling in the second phase on April 26, murmurs in political circles hint at his potential nomination from Amethi as well. If materialized, this would mark Rahul’s third bid for the Amethi constituency, setting the stage for a riveting electoral showdown against BJP’s Smriti Irani, who he has faced in previous contests.

In a potential debut for Lok Sabha elections, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s candidacy from Raebareli, Sonia Gandhi’s erstwhile stronghold, adds another dimension to the unfolding political narrative. Sonia Gandhi, the incumbent MP from Raebareli, has since transitioned to the Rajya Sabha, paving the way for a new face to represent the constituency.

The electoral landscape of Amethi and Raebareli has undergone seismic shifts, with Smriti Irani’s victory over Rahul Gandhi in Amethi during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections marking a significant departure from the Congress stronghold. In a reversal of fortunes, Smriti Irani secured a decisive victory over Rahul Gandhi by a margin of 55,120 votes in 2019, contrasting with Rahul’s triumph over her by a margin of 1,07,903 votes in 2014.

As political analysts dissect the dynamics of the upcoming elections in Raebareli, they anticipate an equally formidable challenge for any Congress candidate. In the previous election, Sonia Gandhi clinched victory over BJP’s Dinesh Pratap Singh by an impressive margin of 1,67,178 votes, underscoring the enduring legacy of the Congress in the region.

With polling in Amethi and Raebareli slated for the fifth phase on May 20, the electoral battleground of Uttar Pradesh, boasting a total of 80 Lok Sabha seats, stands poised for a compelling showdown, where every nomination and maneuver could shape the contours of the political landscape.

  1. I was just seeking this information for some time. After 6 hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your site. I wonder what’s the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this kind of informative sites in top of the list. Generally the top websites are full of garbage.
