Gandhi will compete against BJP's Dinesh Pratap Singh. Raebareli holds significant historical importance as it was represented by Rahul Gandhi's grandmother, Indira Gandhi, and grandfather, Feroze Gandhi, in the Lok Sabha.
Voting in Rae Bareli is scheduled for the fifth phase of the Lok Sabha elections on May 20.
