Sonia Gandhi files her nomination for Rajya Sabha polls from Rajasthan

| @indiablooms | Feb 14, 2024, at 06:06 pm

Jaipur/IBNS: Congress veteran Sonia Gandhi filed her nomination for the upcoming Rajya Sabha polls from the state of Rajasthan on Wednesday.

Sonia, who is presently a Lok Sabha MP from Uttar Pradesh's Rae Bareli, landed in the state capital Jaipur on Wednesday.

She was accompanied by her son and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, her daughter and party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra along with former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot while filing the nomination.

Sonia, who remained the Congress president from 1998 to 2017 at a stretch, is a five-time MP from Rae Bareli.

She returned as the Congress interim president in 2019 after Rahul stepped down following the party's disastrous performance in the Parliamentary elections the same year.

The Congress leader will file his nomination from the seat, which fell vacant due to the retirement of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
