In the 2029 Modi wave, Samriti Irani defeated Gandhi to take over the Congress’s seat in the Amethi Lok Sabha. A political showdown is expected in Amethi on Monday when Congressman Rahul Gandhi and Union Minister Samriti Irani are expected to arrive in this prominent Lok Sabha seat on the same day. There is speculation that they will be running for the same seat in the parliament elections that are scheduled for April and May. Irani had defeated Rahul Gandhi on the Modi wave to seize the Amethi Lok Sabha seat from the Congress in 2019.
Irani will arrive for a four-day visit to her constituency as part of the Jan Samvad Vikas Yatra, while Rahul Gandhi and Congress chief Mallikaarjun Kharge will enter Amethi as part of their ongoing Bharat Jodo Navy Yatra.
In Amethi, a Lok Sabha seat that the Congress has only lost three times to date, this will be the first time since the 2022 U.P. assembly elections that the two leaders will have campaigned for their party candidates on the same day but at different locations.
Without a doubt, Amethi and Raw Bareli are more than just constituents to us.
In addition to saying that the BJP’s decision to schedule Smriti’s program on the same day in Amethi demonstrated the growing discontent within the BJP camp, UP Congress chief said, They are home to our party leadership.
Rahul is anticipated to travel from Pratapgarh to Amethi on Monday as part of his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra. He is scheduled to hold a public meeting and a roadshow in a region that elected him three times in a row prior to his defeat in the 2019 Modi wave. In order to continue her Amethi Jan Samvad Vikas Yatra, Smriti will pick up where she left off, visiting individuals in each of the five assembly constituencies that comprise her Lok Sabha.
Following a nighttime stay, most likely in the vicinity of Fursatganj, Rahul and his yatra will proceed to Rae Bareli, the only U.P. Lok Sabha seat won by the Congress in 2019. With Sonia Gandhi’s decision to move to the Rajya Sabha and her declaration that the Gandhi family will continue to be associated with the area, there is increasing talk about Rahul’s sister and party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Varda running for the seat. About 4000 people visited the newly opened Ayodhya temple on Saturday, thanks to arrangements made by the BJP, and more visits are planned. On February 22, Samriti is also planning a housewarming party at her recently constructed home in Amethi.
We are not travelers. After housewarming, you will see didi who reside here, as we have kept our word, “stated Amethi Lok Sabha representative for Samriti Irani, Vijay Gupta.
