Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Congress Party has formed an alliance with Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh for the Lok Sabha elections 2024. There are total 80 seats in the state but Congress is contesting only on 17 seats. However, the party has not yet announced candidates for these 17 seats. Seats like Rae Bareli and Amethi have been with the Congress party for a long time, but now the party is struggling to decide its candidates on these seats. Now meanwhile, veteran Congress leader AK Antony has indicated that Priyanka Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi will contest elections from Rae Bareli and Amethi.
AK Antony's announcement on Rae Bareli-Amethi issue
Talking to a news channel, AK Antony said that a member of the Gandhi family will definitely contest elections from Uttar Pradesh. Along with this, he also made it clear that that member will not be Robert Vadra. Now after this statement of the Congress leader, speculations have gained momentum that Rahul Gandhi or Priyanka Gandhi Vadra can contest elections from the state.
Who will get tickets from Amethi and Rae Bareli?
Amethi and Rae Bareli Lok Sabha seats of Uttar Pradesh have been held by the Gandhi family for a long time. In 2019, Sonia Gandhi won the election from Rae Bareli. He was an MP here for a long time but now he has decided not to contest elections due to his health and has become a Rajya Sabha MP. At the same time, in 2019, Rahul Gandhi had to face defeat in Amethi. Earlier he had been winning elections from this seat. Now Rahul Gandhi has filed his candidature from Wayanad but there is speculation that he may contest from Amethi also and instead of Sonia Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi may get the ticket from Rae Bareli. However, Priyanka Gandhi has not contested any election yet.
Robert Vadra also gave a hint
Robert Vadra said in an interview that he is campaigning in Amethi. People tell them their problems. Along with this, he also did not rule out the possibility of contesting elections. After this statement of Robert, it is believed that he can be given ticket from Amethi. Congress leaders Akhilesh Pratap Singh and Avinash Pandey have said that Rahul and Priyanka may get tickets from Amethi and Rae Bareli. The party high command is still silent on the matter but the names of the candidates for both the seats may be announced soon.
