Congress workers in Uttar Pradesh are confident that either Rahul Gandhi or Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will contest the Lok Sabha elections from Amethi or Raebareli, according to party state unit chief Ajay Rai. Despite the party not naming candidates for these seats in its first list, Rai stated that there is a strong belief among workers that one of the two leaders will contest from these family bastions. The final decision rests with the party leadership, but it is expected that after Holi, candidates for these seats will be announced along with others in the state.
