For the first time in 40 years, 'Gandhi family' has lost the Congress 'stronghold' Amethi, even before Rahul Gandhi

new Delhi: 

In the Lok Sabha Election 2019 (Lok Sabha Election 2019), there was a lot of reverses in the BJP's massive victory, which was quite shocking. Even though Rahul Gandhi had won from Wayanad seat, the Gandhi family's defeat in the Amethi Lok Sabha seat, called the Congress stronghold. He defeated Union Minister and BJP candidate Smriti Irani with about 55 thousand votes. In the Modi wave, the defeated BJP defeated Rahul Gandhi from Amethi also added an extraordinary part of the history of Congress. Yes, just as Sanjay Gandhi had lost in 1977 as a Congress candidate from Gandhi family from Amethi. Now Rahul Gandhi has become another Congress leader who has defeated some of his own bastions.

At the moment, if only talk of Gandhi family members, only three Indira Gandhi (Rae Bareli), Sanjay Gandhi (Amethi) and Rahul Gandhi (Amethi) had to face defeat in the elections. Tell us, the Congress has been blessed with the Amethi Lok Sabha seat and it started in 1967 when the Congress Legislature Party (VP) MLA Vajpayee had laid the foundations of party victory in Amethi. 

Vidyadhar Vajpayee remained MP from Amethi from 1967-71 and 1971-77. Rabindra Pratap Singh of Janata Party remained MP from Amethi till 1977-80. Now Amethi's reins came in the hands of the Gandhi family when Sanjay Gandhi was elected MP from the Congress in 1980 but unfortunately after the death of Sanjay Gandhi's plane crash, it was given to Rajiv Gandhi, the only Gandhi family member. Rajiv Gandhi remained MP from Amethi seat from 1981 to 1991.

After Rajiv Gandhi's demise, the responsibility was handed over to Congress's Satish Sharma, Satish Sharma took over the reins of Amethi from 1991 to 1998, and in 1998, BJP's Sanjay Sinha defeated Satish Sharma in the Amethi Lok Sabha elections. This tenure could not go too long and in 1999, Rajiv Gandhi's wife Sonia Gandhi defeated Sanjay Sinha in the elections and became Amethi MP from 1999-2004. Since then, Congress President Rahul Gandhi has been the Amethi MP since 2004. Overall, no Congress leader has ever lost from Amethi seat, and now if Rahul Gandhi loses his fort, then he will be the first member of the Gandhi family to lose Lok Sabha elections from Amethi. Let me tell you that Maneka Gandhi had gone independently in the field to face Rajiv Gandhi once and he had to face defeat.
