On May 18, Rahul Gandhi stated that Rae Bareli should once again lead the path to progress and development in Uttar Pradesh and the country, as it has historically been the ideological and political center of the state. Sonia Gandhi also appeared as the star campaigner for her son Rahul Gandhi in Uttar Pradesh's Raebareli, assuring the crowd that she is entrusting her son to them and that he, in turn, will not disappoint them.
In the previous Lok Sabha elections, Rahul Gandhi contested from Amethi but was defeated by BJP's Smriti Irani. After representing Amethi from 2004 to 2019, he has shifted to Rae Bareli this time.
