View In AppThe Amethi Lok Sabha seat is one of Uttar Pradesh's 80 constituencies. Amethi has an important place in India's political arena, marked by a compelling election history and intense political rivalries. It is one of the seats that will be in focus in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections due to the intense political rivalry between BJP's Smriti Irani and Congress's Rahul Gandhi.
The Amethi Lok Sabha seat has been traditionally considered a 'safe seat' for the Gandhi family. Before Rahul, the Seat had been won by Sanjay Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, and Sonia Gandhi. The 'safe seat' perception was shattered in 2019 when BJP leader Smriti Irani trounced Rahul Gandhi by over 55,000 votes in 2019.
