Why did Rahul Gandhi Pick Rae Bareli over Amethi? | India Elections 2024 | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has filed his nomination from the party stronghold of Rae Bareli, ending days of speculation on his second seat. Though Gandhi was already contesting from Kerala, he was widely expected to run from a seat in the politically significant state of Uttar Pradesh. The expectation was that he would choose his former seat Amethi, which he had lost in the 2019 election and had promised to regain. Rae Bareli was won by Rahul Gandhi's mother Sonia Gandhi from 2004 to 2019 and is a long-standing bastion of the Gandhi family. Why did Rahul choose Rae Bareli over Amethi? What will be the political impact of this decision? Palki Sharma tells you.
