Some Rahul Gandhi supporters have started whispering the case for him skirting the Amethi seat and moving to Rae Bareli "if at all it is important" for him to contest from a second seat after Wayanad. However, there is also a section in the party which feels that if Gandhi avoids Amethi for Rae Bareli, it would amount to him "fleeing twice", from the seat he lost, therefore, making it important he fight to wrest the seat.
