The BJP has filed a complaint with the Election Commission (EC) against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of making false claims about a rise in poverty in the country.

Videos of extensive cleaning and renovation work at Rahul Gandhi’s house in Amethi, Uttar Pradesh, have emerged on social media, prompting speculation about his possible candidature in the upcoming Lok Sabha (LS) polls. Although the Congress party has yet to announce its candidates for Amethi and Rae Bareli, party workers remain optimistic that Gandhi will contest from the traditional party stronghold he lost to BJP’s Smriti Irani in the 2019 elections. Gandhi has not explicitly ruled out the possibility of contesting from Amethi, stating that such decisions would be made by the party’s central election committee. The renovation work at Gandhi’s house has further fueled speculation among party cadres, who believe it could be a sign of upcoming visits related to election campaigning. While the polling date for Amethi is set for May 20, the party is expected to announce its candidates for the two VIP seats on or after April 26, once polling for Wayanad concludes.
