Rahul Gandhi's decision to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections from Uttar Pradesh's Rae Bareli constituency, historically linked to the Gandhi family, has drawn attention to its VVIP legacy. Previously represented by his grandfather Feroze Gandhi and later by his mother, former PM Indira Gandhi, the seat holds significant emotional and political value. Sonia Gandhi's announcement that she will not contest the elections due to health reasons adds a poignant note, marking the end of an era for the Gandhi family's association with Rae Bareli.
