Amethi and Rae Bareli seats are important for Congress

Amethi and Rae Bareli have been traditional seats of Congress, from where only members of the Gandhi family have been contesting elections. In the last Lok Sabha elections, BJP's Smriti Irani defeated Rahul Gandhi from Amethi seat.

The State Election Committee of Uttar Pradesh unit of Congress had proposed the names of Rahul Gandhi from Amethi and Priyanka Gandhi from Rae Bareli and in the last Central Election Committee meeting also there was discussion about these two seats but Gandhi decided to contest the elections on the respective seats. Was left to the family.

Voting will be held on both seats in the fifth phase
