The Wait is Over!
The big day is finally here! The massive vote counting for the Lok Sabha elections kicked off at 8 AM. Guess who’s in the spotlight? Yep, it’s Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, contesting from two hotspots: Rae Bareli in Uttar Pradesh and Wayanad in Kerala.
What’s Happening in Rae Bareli?
In Rae Bareli, Rahul is up against Dinesh Pratap Singh from the BJP. This seat is a big deal for the Congress, especially since it was the only one they bagged in Uttar Pradesh back in 2019. Remember how Singh went head-to-head with Rahul’s mom, Sonia Gandhi, last time? Well, he’s back for another round.
Rae Bareli’s Significance
Rae Bareli and Amethi are like the heart and soul of the Congress in UP. Rahul Gandhi represented Amethi for three terms until Smriti Irani snatched it in 2019. But he bounced back by winning Wayanad in Kerala. This year, he’s playing it safe by contesting from both places.
What About Wayanad?
Down in Wayanad, Rahul is battling it out with CPI’s Annie Raja and BJP’s K Surendran. He crushed it last time, beating CPI’s P P Suneer by a landslide. And the exit polls? They’re hinting at another victory for Rahul.
What’s Next?
So, what’s going to happen? Will Rahul Gandhi secure both seats? With the vote counting underway and exit polls showing a favorable tilt towards him, the excitement is palpable. Keep your eyes peeled as the results unfold!
