Thiruvananthapuram: In Uttar Pradesh, people’s curiosity about the candidates for Amethi and Rae Bareli seats has increased. Both have been traditional seats of Congress and are considered strongholds of Congress. In the last election, Rahul Gandhi had to face defeat from Amethi seat while Sonia Gandhi had won from Rae Bareli seat. But now after Sonia Gandhi going to Rajya Sabha, speculations about Priyanka Gandhi contesting on this seat are intense. Meanwhile, senior Congress leader AK Antony says that we should wait for the decision and not speculate. He said that a member of the Gandhi family will contest elections from Uttar Pradesh.
Will Robert Vadra be a candidate?
When Antony was asked whether Robert Vadra would be the candidate, he also indicated that it would not be so. The former Defense Minister said that the secular parties of the country have full faith in the Gandhi family. Antony’s statement comes amid the delay in the announcement of candidates by the Congress for Rae Bareli and Amethi, once considered the stronghold of the Gandhi family. There is still confusion in Congress regarding Rae Bareli and Amethi seats. Voting on both seats will be held in the fifth phase on May 20. Nominations will be filed from 26 April to 3 May.
