Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has decided to contest from Uttar Pradesh's Raebareli, previously held by his mother Sonia Gandhi, while Kishori Lal Sharma will stand against Union Minister Smriti Irani in Amethi. This eleventh-hour decision by the Congress comes amid intense speculation. Raebareli will see Rahul facing BJP's Dinesh Pratap Singh, who lost to Sonia Gandhi in 2019, while Irani has taken jabs at Congress for indecision. Amethi, once a Congress stronghold, witnessed Rahul's defeat to Irani in 2019, leading to speculations about Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's candidacy, ultimately resolved by the party's nominations.
