In a historic win for the Congress party, leader Rahul Gandhi has secured a resounding victory in Uttar Pradesh’s Rae Bareli, surpassing his mother Sonia Gandhi’s previous victory margin. As per the latest data from the Election Commission, Rahul Gandhi is leading by over 3 lakh votes against his nearest rival, Dinesh Pratap Singh of the BJP. This victory margin makes it the highest in Uttar Pradesh, establishing Rahul Gandhi’s stronghold in the region. It is noteworthy that Sonia Gandhi had won the Rae Bareli seat by a margin of 1.67 lakh votes in 2019. Mr. Gandhi’s triumph marks a significant milestone in his political career, especially after the setback of losing the Amethi Lok Sabha seat to BJP’s Smriti Irani in the previous elections. However, he managed to secure a second seat in Kerala and retain his Member of Parliament status. This time around, Rahul Gandhi contested from two seats – Rae Bareli in Uttar Pradesh and Wayanad in Kerala. The leader is leading in both constituencies, with an overwhelming margin in Wayanad against his opponent, Annie Raja of the CPM. The Congress party is also eyeing to reclaim the Amethi seat from the BJP, with their candidate Kishori Lal leading against Smriti Irani by over 90,000 votes. Additionally, the latest trends indicate that the Congress-Samajwadi Party alliance is ahead of the BJP in Uttar Pradesh, adding to the political dynamics of the region. The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is currently leading in 291 seats, while the opposition INDIA bloc is ahead in 233 seats. As the Lok Sabha elections unfold, the spotlight is on key battlegrounds and the shifting political landscape across the country. The emergence of new trends and alliances is reshaping the electoral scenario, with significant victories and losses marking the results.
