In an unexpected turn of events as results were declared for India’s general elections, main opposition party Congress’s chief Rahul Gandhi lost his Amethi parliamentary seat to Union textile minister and Bharatiya Janta Party leader Smriti Irani. It is one of the biggest catches for the BJP, which won the elections, as the seat is considered to be a Congress fortress.
Gandhi lost his home turf Amethi, from where he had been elected to the parliament since 2004, to Irani by 54,731 votes. It was a historic victory for Irani after she lost the polls to Gandhi in 2014. This time the Congress chief polled 412,867 votes (43.8% vote share) while Irani bagged 467,598 (49.7%) votes.
