Six out of 10 Assembly seats in Amethi and Rae Bareli parliamentary constituencies that are long considered Congress strongholds have gone to the BJP while two went to the Samajwadi Party.
It was a complete washout for the Congress in Rahul’s Amethi Lok Sabha constituency, comprising Assembly seats of Amethi, Tiloi, Jagdishpur, Gauriganj and Salon. The party managed to win two of the five assembly constituencies of Sonia Gandhi’s Rae Bareli Lok Sabha seat — Rae Bareli and Harchandpur — while losing Sareni, Bachhrawan and Unchahar.
