	The Telegraph - Calcutta : Opinion
		Rahul Gandhi is contesting from Amethi and the locals are convinced that it won’t be long before he leads the Congress and the country.
		Amethi was selected by the Gandhis for its proximity to Rae Bareli.
		What moves the people of Amethi and Rae Bareli is not just the name, but the rapport that the successive generations of the Gandhis have built with the people of the region.

		But, the locals in both constituencies, particularly Amethi, are equally determined to repeat 1980 when the duo not only won by huge margins and also walked away with well over 50 per cent of the votes polled.
		With the Samajwadi Party (SP) opting to stay away from the contest — apparently as a goodwill gesture towards the Congress president, Sonia Gandhi, in anticipation of her seeking re-election from here — the fight is primarily between the Congress and the BSP.
		As far as Amethi is concerned, he represents the return of the former Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi, during whose tenure this area had a VVIP existence.

	Everybody loves Rahul
		Travel around the villages of Amethi and you can’t help feeling astounded at what a neglected constituency it is. For a seat as high-profile, as much in the public eye, there is a sharp contrast between the well-dressed scion in his crisp kurta pyjama and his wretched and destitute worshippers.
		The soil in Amethi is sandy and salty, classified as usad or wasteland in which nothing grows, except scrub and small trees.
		To be a Congressman in Amethi is to be an also-ran.

		That magical surname Gandhi and the promise to complete his father and former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi's dream for the constituency are enough to lead Rahul to a landslide victory against his rivals Ram Vilas Vedanti of BJP, Chandraprakash Mishra of BSP and nine others.
		So strong is the family name in Amethi that the party has won 11 of the last 13 Lok Sabha polls.

		Amethi (Number of voters: 1.3 million): When 34-year-old Rahul, accompanied by her Italy-born mother Sonia and sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, filed nominations for this constituency on April 5, he became the member of the fifth generation of Nehru-Gandhi dynasty to take the plunge into politics.

		Sonia's performance in Amethi bolstered the impression that the enigmatic lady of 10 Janpath - the well-guarded fortress in Delhi where the Gandhis live - may no longer be satisfied with simply wearing the dynastic crown and watching politics from the sidelines.
		But whether the sharp rhetoric in Amethi indicates she is ready to join the fray is perhaps one of the biggest questions in Indian politics today.
		Others close to the family say Sonia's motivations may have shifted fleetingly in Amethi but she continues to be advised by members of her inner circle to keep away from politics.
