Congress President Rahul Gandhi Files Nomination From Amethi

Mumbai: After Wyanad Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday filed nomination for the Lok Sabha election from this constituency with his entire family.

When he filed his papers, his mother Sonia Gandhi, sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and brother-in-law Robert Vadra were with him in the collectorate.

There is a direct contest with the SP-BSP-RLD coalition which decides to not field any candidate seen as a Congress stronghold.

It was the Gandhi family’s show of strength with the Congress president flanked by his sister, brother-in-law and their two children in the open truck.

Amethi goes to the polls on May 6 in the fifth phase of the Lok Sabha elections, which begin on Thursday.
