Rahul Gandhi for Rae Bareli; Gandhi family loyalist fielded from Amethi
The HinduHours before the deadline for filing nominations, the Congress announced on Friday morning that it would field its former president Rahul Gandhi from Uttar Pradesh’s Rae Bareli constituency, and Gandhi family loyalist K.L. Countering the criticism this move has generated, Mr. Gandhi claimed that the Amethi and Rae Bareli seats are not “different” and voters in both the constituencies are his “family”. ‘Gandhis accepted Amethi defeat’ Rae Bareli was the only seat that the Congress had won in Uttar Pradesh in the 2019 election, with Sonia Gandhi decimating the BJP’s Dinesh Pratap Singh by roughly 1,67,000 votes. The entire country is a “stronghold” of the Gandhi family, not just the two seats in Uttar Pradesh, he said, also asking the Prime Minister why he could not even “muster the courage to contest an election from a single seat below the Vindhyas?” ‘Unfair to Wayanad voters’ Mr. Sharma, the party’s Amethi nominee, has been associated with the seat since 1983, when he started working with Rajiv Gandhi.
