Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Uttar Pradesh, which sends the maximum number of MPs, 80, to Parliament, will vote in all seven phases.
Rahul Gandhi is the incumbent Lok Sabha MP from Kerala's Wayanad. In 2024 elections, he is contesting from two seats -- Wayanad once again and Rae Bareli for the firs time. Rae Bareli has remained a Congress' stronghold for decades.
Robert Vadra, in the recent past, has been vocal about joining active politics or contesting elections adding that people are looking up to him to enter the political battlefield.
Polling in Rae Bareli will take place in the fifth phase on May 20. Amethi, where the Congress scion lost to BJP's Smriti Irani by a margin of 55,000 votes in 2019, will also vote in the fifth phase.
Rahul Gandhi filed his nomination from Rae Bareli, a Congress' stronghold, in the presence of Sonia Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Mallikarjun Kharge, ex-Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot and Robert Vadra.
Though all members of the Gandhi family and party president Mallikarjun Kharge were present when Rahul Gandhi filed the nomination, Raebareli is going to be a tough contest for him. In the last parliamentary election, Sonia Gandhi’s victory margin dropped by almost half.
The Congress had kept the suspense going over whether or not Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra would contest from Amethi and Raebareli, till the early morning of the last day of nomination filing. The declaration came with a twist, Rahul Gandhi opted out from Amethi.
Smriti Irani criticizes Congress' decision to field Kishori Lal Sharma in Amethi, citing the absence of the Gandhi family from the electoral battle as an acceptance of defeat. Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi files his nomination from Rae Bareli, accompanied by prominent party members.
Rahul Gandhi files nominations for Rae Bareli: The Congress leader was accompanied by Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. The constituency has always been represented by family members and friends of the Gandhi-Nehru family.
