According to the India Today-Axis My India exit poll, BJP's Smriti Irani is projected to retain the Amethi Lok Sabha seat in a close battle against Congress's KL Sharma. Once a Gandhi family stronghold, Amethi witnessed Irani's victory over Rahul Gandhi in the 2019 elections. While speculation arose about Gandhi's return to contest against Irani, he opted for Raebareli. KL Sharma, a Gandhi loyalist, now represents Congress in Amethi. The electoral landscape in Amethi reflects shifting dynamics amidst BJP's growing influence and the enduring legacy of the Gandhi family.
