Why Congress fielded Rahul Gandhi from Rae Bareli

Hindustan Times  

Following in the footsteps of his grandfather Feroze Gandhi, grandmother Indira Gandhi, and mother Sonia Gandhi, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will be the third generation of the Gandhis to contest from Rae Bareli, which is considered the last bastion of the family. On the last day of the nomination, the Congress announced Rahul Gandhi’s candidature for Rae Bareli. Congress strategists are believed to have advised Rahul Gandhi to contest from Rae Bareli, the seat synonymous with the Gandhi family, and let Priyanka Gandhi Vadra take on Union minister Smriti Irani in Amethi. In the 2019 election, when Congress got wiped out from other seats in Uttar Pradesh, Sonia Gandhi managed to get 55.8% of the votes in Rae Bareli.
