The people of Amethi and Rae Bareli want only the members of the Gandhi family to contest from these two parliamentary seats, the Congress party’s Uttar Pradesh president Ajay Rai said on February 14. He added that the State Congress is also of the opinion that the Gandhi family must contest from these seats which they have traditionally represented.
“Recently, I visited both Amethi and Rae Bareli. The mood of the public is very much clear to elect Gandhi family members in Parliament. These constituencies share an emotional bond with the Gandhi family. In Amethi, people are eager to correct the mistake of 2019. We [the U.P. Congress unit] also want any members of the family to contest in the two seats,” Mr. Rai told The Hindu.
