In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party emerged victorious in the Amethi constituency by defeating Rahul Gandhi. However, the BJP faced defeat against Sonia Gandhi in Rae Bareli. This time, the BJP aims to secure victory in both Rae Bareli and Amethi seats. An important meeting is currently underway at the BJP office in Lucknow to strategize for these seats.
The meeting, attended by BJP National President JP Nadda, Deputy Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Keshav Prasad Maurya, Uttar Pradesh BJP President Bhupendra Chaudhary, and Organization Minister Dharampal Singh, focuses on devising a plan to win these crucial seats. The BJP is targeting the Amethi, Rae Bareli, Lucknow, and Mohanlalganj Lok Sabha constituencies, with a particular emphasis on the competitive Amethi and Rae Bareli seats.
Discussions in the meeting also address the declining voter turnout, emphasizing the need to increase participation and ensure maximum voter turn out. Rahul Gandhi is contesting from Rae Bareli, while Congress has nominated Kishori Lal Sharma for the Amethi seat. BJP aims to defeat Rahul Gandhi in Rae Bareli, the Congress stronghold that has eluded BJP's victory so far.
