Sonia Gandhi has filed nomination for Rajya Sabha on Wednesday. After her nomination, Priyanka Gandhi's candidature from Rae Bareli seat is now considered almost certain.With former Congress President Sonia Gandhi going to Rajya Sabha, now all eyes are on Rae Bareli and Amethi Lok Sabha seats. There are chances of Priyanka Gandhi contesting from Rae Bareli, but there is doubt whether Rahul Gandhi will contest from Amethi or a new face will emerge.The Gandhi family has a long standing political connection with Rae Bareli and Amethi. In 2014, both Amethi and Rae Bareli seats came to Congress, but in the year 2019, Congress could retain control only on Rae Bareli. Now after Sonia Gandhi goes to Rajya Sabha, there is a possibility of fielding Priyanka Gandhi from Rae Bareli. She has also been active in the last elections. Priyanka has been visiting Rae Bareli in Sonia Gandhi's absence. In such a situation, Priyanka Gandhi is considered to have a strong claim on this seat. Similarly, Sonia Gandhi was MP from Amethi in 1999 and then Rahul Gandhi thrice. But in 2019, Smriti Irani defeated him. In such a situation, he will enter the political arena from Amethi in the year 2024, this picture is not clear yet.
