Congress Releases Another Poll List, No Decision On Amethi, Raebareli

“Mr Kharge is seized of the matter. A decision will be announced at an appropriate time,” Jairam Ramesh said.

The two seats have long association with the Nehru-Gandhi family as Feroze Gandhi, former PMs Indira and Rajiv Gandhi, Indira’s son and Congress leader Sanjay Gandhi, former party presidents Sonia and Rahul Gandhi and Congress leader Arun Nehru have all got elected from these two seats.

The party's central election committee has been in favour of fielding Rahul Gandhi from Amethi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra from Raebareli – the seat that Sonia Gandhi vacated as she shifted to the Rajya Sabha. Rahul Gandhi lost Amethi to Smriti Irani in 2019 and if he makes Amethi his second seat this year – apart from Wayanad – the UP constituency will see a major power tussle.
