Will It Be Rahul Gandhi In Amethi & Priyanka’s Political Debut In Rae Bareli?

” … all of us believe that Rahul Gandhi will come at a ‘shubh muhurat’, he will come on time. This time, he will win in Amethi, become an MP and the Prime Minister of India. He will make the record of winning from Amethi with the highest number of votes,” he said.

While the last-minute suspense regarding the Gandhi siblings is still on, rumours remain rife about Robert Vadra, Priyanka Gandhi’s husband, contesting from Amethi, in case Rahul decides to stick with just Wayanad. Vadra has also claimed that people within the party want him to fight from Amethi.

However, if Rahul Gandhi is indeed fielded in Amethi, it will be a high-stakes battle, considering that Smriti Irani defeated him by 55,120 votes in the 2019 elections.

As for Priyanka, Congress has been wanting her to enter the poll fray since February this year when Sonia decided to bring curtains down on her Lok Sabha stint. In 2019 too, there were strong rumours that Congress may field Priyanka against PM Modi from Varanasi. However, the grand old party opted to go with Ajay Rai.
