Political history of Rae Bareli…

Rae bareli is also important for the gandhi family, but its history is less prominent than Amethi. Rae bareli is also an important seat in the Lok Sabha, which has been reserved for the members of the gandhi family in the congress party for a long time. With Rahul gandhi contesting from the Rae bareli Lok Sabha seat, the political journey of the third generation of the gandhi family started from Rae Bareli.

Talking about the history of the Rae bareli Lok Sabha seat, Feroze gandhi first contested and won the election in 1952. After that, he also won the election in 1958. After his death, indira gandhi started her political innings by contesting from this seat in the 1967 elections. In 2004, Indira Gandhi's daughter-in-law sonia gandhi contested the election and was elected mp five times. In this way, the name of the gandhi family became associated with Rae Bareli.
