The Rae Bareli Lok Sabha constituency, one of the 80 in Uttar Pradesh, is among the few seen as a "safe seat" for the Congress. It holds immense historical and political significance, particularly for the Nehru-Gandhi family. With Sonia Gandhi's decision to take her place in the Rajya Sabha, the implications for the Congress are profound. Having lost the Amethi Gandhi family bastion to BJP's Smriti Irani in 2019, Congress is now faced with the big question of whom to field from Rae Bareli.
