<p><strong>Did BJP Just Secure Its Lok Sabha Candidate From Raebareli?</strong></p>.<p>Dear Reader, <br><br>Sonia Gandhi will reach the Rajya Sabha as a candidate from Rajasthan, and the Congress is likely to find one among the Gandhi siblings in their mother's place from Rae Bareli. </p><p>But do we know anything about BJP's plans for the constituency? Make no mistake, Rae Bareli is up for grabs this time should the BJP put up a strong candidate. </p><p>Turns out, the party arranged for one such candidate earlier today. Up till this morning he was the Chief Whip of the Samajwadi Party in the UP assembly but resigned from his post during the day and is expected to join the BJP later this week. </p><p>While nothing can be said for certain in the BJP of Modi-Shah, the party certainly gains by putting a strong local face against the eventual Congress candidate, which may well be a Gandhi.</p><p><a href="https://swarajyamag.com/uttar-pradesh/did-bjp-just-secure-its-lok-sabha-candidate-from-rae-bareli">Find out all about him here</a>. <br>--<br><em>Arush Tandon</em>, </p><p><a href="http://swarajyamag.com/">Swarajya</a></p>
