Rahul needs bank account in Amethi: DM

New Delhi, Apr 4 (IBNS): Congress Vice president Rahul Gandhi, who will be contesting from the Amethi constituency in Uttar Pradesh, has 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 needs 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 Gandhi did not have an identity proof and needs a bank account as proof. Rahul has to prove that he stays there occasionally. 


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