Rahul Gandhi to file nomination in Amethi today

Amethi, Apr 12 (IBNS) Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi will on Saturday file his nomination from Amethi Lok Sabha constituency in Uttar Pradesh.

Rahul is seeking re-election for a third consecutive term from Amethi. 

He will be accompanied by his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.

Earlier, Rahul faced a hurdle with the district administration rejecting the application of his residence proof, said media reports on Thursday.

According to a CNN IBN report, Rahul needed a bank account in Amethi as proof of his residence as per the rules of the Election Commission as notified in 2011.

Quoting the district magistrate, the channel reported that Rahul did not have an identity proof and needed a bank account as proof. Rahul had to prove that he stays there occasionally. 

Rahul had won two terms from the seat but this time he faces challengers like Smriti Irani of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and  Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Kumar Vishwas.
