Rae Bareli, 5th May. A complaint was directed towards Rahul Gandhi, the Congress leader, for submitting his nomination from the Rae Bareli constituency in Uttar Pradesh. The complaint raises concerns about Rahul Gandhi’s nationality as well as his most recent defamation conviction.

Who lodged the grievance over Rahul Gandhi’s Rae Bareli candidacy?

The complaint was filed by attorney Ashok Pandey on Anirudh Pratap Singh’s behalf. Gandhi’s lawyer filed a complaint against the Congress leader with the Rae Bareli Returning Officer, requesting that his candidacy be revoked due to his nationality and conviction.
Secondly, Rahul Gandhi has already stated that he was British back in 2006. He cannot constitutionally contest elections because he is a British citizen. Rahul Gandhi’s spokesperson was contacted following my complaint, and my concern was acknowledged,” he continued.

In response to the criticism of Rahul Gandhi’s Rae Bareli nomination, how did the Congress respond?
“First, Rahul Gandhi was found guilty and sentenced to two years in prison. He is not qualified to run for office. The Supreme Court has stayed Rahul Gandhi’s conviction, but it hasn’t made a ruling similar to Afzal Ansari’s, allowing him to run for office again. Pandey told ANI, “He should back off since his stay on conviction does not involve permission to contest elections.”

Rumors that Rahul Gandhi will run for the Amethi seat again were put to rest on Friday, May 3, when he filed his nomination from the Rae Bareli constituency. This revelation gave the opposition a field day.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “I had mentioned that shehzada [Rahul Gandhi] is scared of losing in Wayanad and that he will begin searching for a third seat as soon as the polls close. Even if all of his supporters told him as much, he fled Amethi in a state of fear and is now glancing at Rae Bareli. These folks are constantly telling people about Daro Mat. I’ll tell them today as well: “Ji bhar ke kehta hoon.” “Bhaago mat, arey daro mat.”
