Congress president Rahul Gandhi is in his constituency Amethi in Uttar Pradesh for a two-day visit, his first since Mayawati and Akhilesh Yadav announced their alliance for the national election due by May without the Congress. Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader Mayawati and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav said their candidates would not contest the Congress's only two seats in UP - Amethi represented by Rahul Gandhi and Raebareli, the constituency of his mother Sonia Gandhi.
