Looks like Rahul Gandhi is changing, plans to capture UP with the help of Rae Bareli?
Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi seems to have changed after winning the Lok Sabha elections. Rahul Gandhi visited his parliamentary constituency for the second time in a month after being elected MP from Raebareli Lok Sabha, his third visit to Uttar Pradesh. In Raebareli he will not only hold meetings with Congress workers but also make efforts to know the reality of development in the district. Political implications are drawn from the way Rahul Gandhi has been active in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, from parliament to the streets, winning his parliamentary seat for the second time in a month. Congress's morale is high after winning the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. After a decade, Congress's strength in Delhi politics has increased, while its win in 6 seats in Uttar Pradesh has raised hopes of its resurgence. Exiled from power in UP for three-and-a-half decades, the Congress faced Rahul Gandhi's defeat in Amethi in 2019, due to which Rahul Gandhi made his mother Sonia Gandhi's Raebareli constituency his seat for the 2024 elections. He left the Wayanad constituency, keeping Raebareli with him and went to UP. Congress can regain political life in politics. Rahul Gandhi has launched a strategy to capture UP through Rae Bareli. After winning the Lok Sabha elections, Rahul Gandhi made a one-day visit to his parliamentary constituency on June 10. Rahul Gandhi reached Rae Bareli for the second time on Tuesday. Rahul first went to Suruva Hanuman temple and got blessings. Following this, he went to Pumav Guest House in Raebareli, where Rahul Gandhi met party workers. After the meeting with the workers, after discussing about the district development works and selecting the MP, the district development works should be carried out on priority basis. Meanwhile, we will get information about the work done by Rahul from Amma MP Sonia Gandhi's MP fund. On July 19, 2023, Rahul Gandhi will meet the family of Capt. Anshuman Singh, who lost his life in the Siachen Glacier, at Bhumau Guest House. Martyr Captain Anshuman Singh was honored with Keerthi Chakra. Martyr's wife Smriti received the honor from President Draupadi Murmu. Martyr Captain Anshuman Singh's father Ravi Pratap Singh and mother Manju Singh met Rahul Gandhi at Rae Bareli. After this, the martyr's mother said that the Agniveer Yojana should be stopped. Rahul Gandhi said that he will continue to fight the battle of Agni Veeran. Rahul Gandhi focus on Raebareli: Ramesh Shukla, local journalist of Raebareli, told TV-9 Digital that Raebareli is top on Rahul Gandhi's list. He mentioned this during the Lok Sabha election campaign. That is why we want to be active in Raebareli because Sonia Gandhi won the MP election in 2019 and did not come for five years because of faith. In this case, the opposition parties are alleging that the Gandhi family is only coming to contest the elections and after that they are not going to the area. Rahul Gandhi's second visit to Raebareli in a month is an attempt to break the same narrative. Ramesh Shukla says Rahul Gandhi doesn't want to repeat Amethi's mistake in Raebareli area. He does not want to leave Raebareli to any of his managers, but has a strategy to maintain his presence in the area in person. That is why Rahul Gandhi has come to Rae Bareli for the second time in a month. During this, by attending the district development plan meeting, the development of the district can be properly evaluated. Rahul Gandhi is focusing on UP on the pretext of Raebareli as the Congress was looking for long lost ground in the state and the 2024 results have given it hope. This is a big change in Rahul Gandhi. So far he has only talked about development, he is talking about increasing the relationship and work done by his ancestors with Amethi-Rabareli. He tries to reveal his relationship with Raebareli. Rahul Gandhi has been following the same pattern during and after the Rae Bareli elections. From this we can understand that Rahul Gandhi wants to keep Rae Bareli as a permanent constituency. In the Lok Sabha elections, Congress has won 6 Lok Sabha seats this time and had to face defeat in five seats due to small votes. Congress people are excited about the 2024 election results. In such a situation, a period of effort has begun for UP, for which the Congress has chosen the path of pressure politics. Its reflection can be seen in Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi's visit to Hadhras and his subsequent letter to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Now Rahul reached Raebareli on Tuesday. In such a scenario, his activism on UP will act as a pressure on the BJP and the UP government. Congress's best performance in UP since 1989 has seen it run out of power this term. Congress had two seats in 2014 and only one Lok Sabha seat in 2019. Rahul Gandhi lost in Amethi constituency in 2019 election. Congress contested only 17 seats in this election and won 6 seats. After 40 years, Congress has won 6 constituencies namely Amethi, Rae Bareli, Allahabad and Saharanpur. With the alliance with the Samajwadi Party and the support of Muslim and Dalit voters, the Congress is eyeing a big chance in the 2027 assembly elections. In such a situation, Rahul is trying to turn Raebareli into a political weapon to maintain his function in UP. Rahul Gandhi met Hadhras victims, Congress started working on pressure politics and UP. Be it the NEET issue or the Hadhras incident. While NEET is a national issue, the Congress has opted for a campaign to strengthen its position by calling UP the epicenter of the paper leak. At first the core of the Congress revolted. NSUI and Youth Congress then took the lead. Meanwhile, when the Hadhras incident happened, Rahul Gandhi wasted no time in reaching out to the people. After reaching Hadhras and Aligarh, Rahul Gandhi met the families of the victims and shared their pain and suffering and gave a political message. Rahul Gandhi demanded that the administration take responsibility for the Hadhras accident and compensate the affected families. Immediately following this, Rahul Gandhi wrote a letter to Chief Minister Yogi and said that the compensation given to the victims is very low and the government should increase it and provide it on time without any delay. Following this, Rahul Gandhi has now reached Raebareli, where he will review the development of his parliamentary constituency, meet party leaders and boost their morale. In this way, UP is on Rahul Gandhi's agenda.
