Amethi: Even as Congress leader Rahul Gandhi enters Amethi as part of Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, Union Minister and BJP MP from Amethi, Smriti Irani held a 'Jan Samwad' there on Monday as part of a four-day visit to her parliamentary constituency.
Amethi used to be a Congress stronghold in Uttar Pradesh, where Rahul Gandhi lost to Smriti Irani in the 2019 elections.
The Congress is still undecided on wether Rahul Gandhi will make an attempt at regaining the Congress stronghold specially since Sonia Gandhi has also left Rae Bareili for the Rajya Sabha.
