It's Rahul Gandhi vs Smriti Irani In Amethi As Congress Stronghold Goes To Polls

Voters in Amethi tell NDTV that the Lok Sabha seat in Uttar Pradesh has an "emotional connect" with Rahul Gandhi and that the constituency and the Congress president are "incomplete" without each other. Amethi is one of the 51 constituencies in seven states that is voting in the fifth round of the seven-phase Lok Sabha elections. Mr Gandhi faces a huge test as he needs to prove that Amethi remains a Congress stronghold despite intense attacks from Smriti Irani.
