Sonia Gandhi's Transition to Rajya Sabha Marks Political Shift

Sonia Gandhi's decision to opt for the Rajya Sabha instead of contesting the Lok Sabha elections is seen by the BJP as an admission of the Congress party's "looming defeat" in the upcoming polls. BJP leaders commented that the Gandhis have deserted their supposed strongholds, with Sonia Gandhi choosing the Rajya Sabha route instead of contesting from her family pocket borough Rae Bareli. The Congress is expected to win one of the three Rajya Sabha seats from Rajasthan, and Sonia Gandhi's nomination marks her first term in the Upper House after serving five terms as a Lok Sabha MP. BJP leaders also suggested that the Gandhi family's move reflects fear of facing the people in their constituencies and predicted a BJP sweep in the forthcoming general elections in Uttar Pradesh.

Sonia Gandhi's Transition: A New Era for Congress

Sonia Gandhi, former Congress president, retires from electoral politics after 25 years in the Lok Sabha, citing health concerns and a desire to step away from intense electoral politics. Her decision to file nomination papers for the Rajya Sabha elections from Rajasthan raises questions about the future of the Congress party, especially as the party faces ongoing changes and challenges. Speculation arises about whether her daughter Priyanka might take her place in the Lok Sabha from Rae Bareli, but no concrete information has been provided yet. Despite stepping back from the front row of the Lok Sabha, Sonia Gandhi's influence within the party's parliamentary group remains strong as she is anticipated to continue leading as the chairperson of the Congress Parliamentary Party.

Sonia Gandhi's Transition to Rajya Sabha Marks End of an Era

BJP leaders criticized the move, stating that the Gandhis have deserted their strongholds and predicting a blank for Congress in Uttar Pradesh. Despite this, Sonia Gandhi is expected to comfortably win the elections and become the second leader from the Nehru-Gandhi family to join the Rajya Sabha.

"Bharat Ratna Awards: Political Maneuvering and Controversy Surrounding Recent Recipients"

Sonia Gandhi's discomfort with the decision to award Bharat Ratna to former PMs Narasimha Rao and Charan Singh stems from her strained relationship with Rao, attributed to her unhappiness over the slow probe into her husband Rajiv Gandhi's assassination and ideological differences. Despite Congress's attempt to celebrate Rao's centenary in 2020, Sonia's refusal for a memorial in Delhi and absence at his cremation reflect the ongoing bitterness. Charan Singh, a former Congress leader, became a critic of the party and played a significant role in dissolving state governments after the Janata Party came to power.
