Congress leader, Rahul Gandhi is back in the field. The leader earlier got his position back as Member of Parliament (MP) and now new about 2024 Lok Sabha elections have come up. Mr. Gandhi will be fighting in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections from the ‘legacy’ seat of Congress Party, that is Amethi. This information came from Up’s new Congress Chief – Ajay Rai. It is being anticipated that LS elections of 2024 will witness Rahul Gandhi Vs Smriti Irani.

Rahul Gandhi from Amethi, Wayanad?

Rahul Gandhi ran for office in 2019 from Amethi and Wayanad. Wayanad was his first foray into the South, whilst Amethi served as his legacy seat. After defeating Rahul Gandhi in Amethi, Smriti Irani gained fame as a giant-slaying champion. From Wayanad, Rahul Gandhi won a seat in the Lok Sabha. After being expelled from the Lok Sabha as a result of his conviction in the 2019 Modi surname case, it was uncertain if he would be eligible to run in the 2024 Lok Sabha election. As the Supreme Court temporarily stayed Rahul Gandhi’s conviction, his membership was restored.

Ajay Rai’s history with PM Modi

When rumors of Priyanka Gandhi running against Prime Minister Modi from Varanasi were rampant in 2019, Ajay Rai was unexpectedly nominated. Ajay Rai ran from Varanasi in 2014 as well, but he was defeated by Narendra Modi. Ajay Rai succeeded Brijlal Khabri as head of the Uttar Pradesh Congress months before the Lok Sabha election of 2024.
