Lok Sabha Elections / Rahul, Priyanka distance themselves from Amethi-Rae Bareli, do not want to contest elections

Lok Sabha Elections: The stir regarding the upcoming Lok Sabha elections has intensified. All the parties are busy preparing for the elections. Seats are being announced one after the other. Today i.e. on Saturday, the Election Commission is going to announce the dates, after which the picture regarding the elections will be clear. But before that a big news is coming out about the Gandhi family. It is being told that the Gandhi family has distanced itself from Amethi and Rae Bareli and no member of the family will contest the upcoming elections from these traditional seats. According to sources, both Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi have refused to contest elections from Amethi and Rae Bareli.

‘It is wrong to leave a seat after victory’

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi believes that if he contested the elections from two places, Amethi and Wayanad, and won from both the places, then later he would have to leave one seat, which would be wrong and would send a wrong message to the people. Rahul believes that if he leaves Amethi after winning, then the people of Amethi will say that after losing last time, even if he wins this time, he will leave us. On leaving Wayanad, the people there will say that when they lost from the traditional seat Amethi, they sent them to Parliament and won from there, so now they have left us.

Priyanka refuses to contest elections

On the other hand, Priyanka Gandhi has refused to contest the Lok Sabha elections. Neither from Rae Bareli nor from any other place. Priyanka believes that if three members of her family go to Parliament, it will send a wrong message to the public. Also, those who accuse BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi of nepotism will get a strong seal and their allegations will be proved true.

Rahul, Priyanka kept distance from Amethi-Rae Bareli

Here Rahul also completely agrees with his sister Priyanka. And both have distanced themselves from Amethi and Rae Bareli and have decided not to contest the elections. Rahul is once again going to contest the Lok Sabha elections from Wayanad, Kerala. In such a situation, now a big problem has arisen before the Congress as to whom the party should field as its candidate on these two traditional seats. Who can register victory.

It is noteworthy that in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Sonia Gandhi had won from Rae Bareli and saved the party's traditional seat. But the Congress fort in Amethi was destroyed. BJP's Smriti Irani had defeated Rahul Gandhi. And in this way Amethi was out of the hands of Congress. However, in 2019, Rahul had won from Wayanad, Kerala.
