As the anticipation surrounding the Amethi and Raibareli seats is nearly over. Soon, both members of the Gandhi duo will step onto the center stage, adding excitement to the General Elections 2024. However, another potential twist looms as Rahul and Priyanka might swap their seats.
During the meeting of the Central Election Committee (CEC) of the Congress Party held on Saturday, the idea of seat swapping was deliberated. However, the final decision has been entrusted to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge.
With only four days remaining until the nomination deadline for the fifth phase, the potential seat swapping adds another intriguing dimension to the unfolding narrative.
In the midst of these developments, BJP candidate Mrs. Smriti Irani has submitted her nomination for the Amethi constituency. However, the anticipation over who will contest against her from the Congress party remains. There are indications that a Gandhi scion will step up to challenge her, aiming to avenge the previous election defeat.
Furthermore, Priyanka Gandhi’s imminent entry into electoral politics is a topic on everyone’s mind. Meanwhile, the BJP has kept its plans for Raibareli undisclosed, intending to spring a surprise on all observers.
