An Uttar Pradesh Congress leader on March 6 said that party leader Rahul Gandhi will contest the Lok Sabha election from Amethi — a constituency he has represented several times since 2002.
Congress District President Pradeep Singhal, who returned after a meeting in Delhi, said Mr. Gandhi will be the party candidate from Amethi and his name would be announced soon.
Mr. Gandhi, a former Congress president, represented Amethi in Parliament from 2002 till 2019.
In the 2019 general election, he lost to BJP’s Smriti Irani. He is now an MP from Kerala’s Wayanad.
