Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, accompanied by mother Sonia Gandhi and sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, filed nomination papers for the Raebareli Lok Sabha seat in Uttar Pradesh. Congress announced its candidates for Amethi and Raebareli, choosing Kishori Lal Sharma for Amethi. Raebareli, historically a Congress stronghold, witnessed Indira Gandhi's defeat in 1977 but has been represented by the Gandhi family. Sonia Gandhi's move to Rajya Sabha paved the way for Rahul Gandhi's candidacy. He faces BJP's Dinesh Pratap Singh in the upcoming election. Raebareli remains a pivotal seat amidst shifting political tides.
