Impact of victory and defeat of Amethi and Rae Bareli…

In the lok sabha elections, there was discussion about whether any member of the gandhi family would contest from Amethi and Rae bareli or not, then this discussion got focused on sonia gandhi not contesting from Rae bareli and reaching parliament from Rajya Sabha. Questions arose as to who will be fielded from Amethi and Rae bareli now. rahul gandhi and priyanka gandhi or will the gandhi family completely leave Amethi and Rae Bareli.

But for the first time in 25 years, congress gave a ticket to a non-Gandhi Congressman to contest from Amethi seat. By nominating Kishori Lal Sharma, who is very close to the family, congress made it clear that rahul gandhi has left Amethi. rahul gandhi won three consecutive elections before his crushing defeat to BJP's smriti irani in 2019. At the same time, rahul Gandhi's entry into the electoral fray after sonia gandhi left the seat from Rae bareli clearly indicates that sonia Gandhi's political successor is also the successor of her constituency.

The name of Amethi is associated with the political history of the gandhi family in indian politics. Amethi has been reserved for the leaders of the gandhi family in congress for a long time. Many leaders of the gandhi family started their political career from here and have won a large number of elections. In the first election held in Amethi in 1967, Vidyadhar Vajpayee won on a congress ticket. After this, Vajpayee retained this seat in 1971. At the same time, in the 1977 lok sabha elections, the Janata party candidate won and stopped the winning campaign of the Congress.
