Rahul Gandhi's Raebareli move sparks debate within Congress & INDIA bloc
The Congress and its allies in the INDIA bloc are grappling with a mid-poll crisis of perception triggered by the Gandhi family's decision to abandon the traditional family stronghold of Amethi, with Rahul Gandhi moving to Raebareli and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra opting out of the electoral fray. This move has led to criticism from both within and outside the party, with accusations of the "generals fleeing the battlefield" and concerns about the Gandhis' reluctance to face electoral challenges.
