Amethi and Rae Bareli: At Stake is the Cult of The Gandhis

News 18  

Why has the Congress appeared so stricken with confusion in declaring their candidates for the Gandhi family bastions of Amethi and Rae Bareli? By the mid-1970s, Indira Gandhi had declared Sanjay Gandhi as her successor and two years before the 2019 Lok Sabha clash, Sonia Gandhi had handed the Congress throne or its presidency to Rahul. Only once have Rae Bareli’s voters turned their back on a Gandhi family member. On balance, it is fair to even postulate that the voters of Rae Bareli and Amethi have returned like homing pigeons to the Gandhi “gharana”.
