Recently, the issue of running for multiple seats came up when Congress leader Rahul Gandhi submitted his candidacy from Rai Bareli in Uttar Pradesh after competing in Wayanad, Kerala during the second phase.

LS Results 2024: Rahul Gandhi’s Massive Win in Rae Bareli and Amethi Constituencies | Watch

Calling the 2024 Lok Sabha election results "the biggest step to protect India's Constitution", Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said that the country has said it does not want Prime Minister Narendra Modi to "run the country". In a press conference in New Delhi, Gandhi said, "This was a fight to save the Constitution of the country and has emerged victorious in it. The country has said that they do not want Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah to run the country." According to data from the Election Commission (EC), Gandhi was leading on both the seats he was fighting on, Wayanad and Rae Bareli. In Rae Bareli, he was ahead of BJP's Dinesh Pratap Singh by 389,341 votes. In Wayanad, Gandhi was declared winner with a margin of 364,422 votes. He won a total of 647,445 votes, defeating the Communist Party of India's Annie Raja, who won 283,023 votes. In the press conference, Gandhi said that he had not yet decided which seat out of Wayanad or Rae Bareli he would drop. "I have not decided that yet," he said. #loksabharesult #Wayanad #RaeBareli #RahulGandhi #Modi #Adani #StockMarket #CongressPressConference #Congress #CongressCelebrations #RahulGandhi #SP #UPResult #AkhileshYadav #loksabharesult2024 #loksabharesultlive #electionresults2024 #electionresultslive #liveelectionresult #electionresults2024live #electionresultsanalysis #liveelectionresult2024 #electionresultsnow #electionresult #electionresulttoday #2024elections #2024loksabhaelection2024 #2024electionresult #chunavresult #loksabhaelection2024 #loksabha2024 #bjp #congress #pmmodi #narendramodi #rahulgandhi #electionbreaking #electionnews #election2024 ~HT.99~PR.152~ED.103~

Rahul Gandhi's First Reaction on Exit Polls 2024 Goes Viral | Moose Wala's '295' [Video]

Rahul Gandhi's First Reaction on Exit Polls 2024 Goes Viral | Moose Wala's '295'

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Sunday dismissed exit poll predictions, which projected a landslide victory for the BJP-NDA. He did so while making a reference to late Punjabi singer and rapper Sidhu Moosewala's song '295'. Following a party meeting, Rahul Gandhi was asked by reporters about the exit poll projections and how many seats he thinks the INDIA alliance would secure. "Sidhu Moose Wala ka song suna hai aapne? (Have you heard the song by Sidhu Moosewala?). 295," he said. The former Congress President, who is contesting both Wayanad and Raebareli in the Lok Sabha elections 2024, further termed the exit poll forecasts "Modi-media poll". "This is not an exit poll. This is a Modi-media poll," he told reporters. Most exit polls have forecast 136 seats for the INDIA bloc, and 379 for the BJP-headed NDA. The predictions also said that the saffron side is likely to make significant inroads in the South and cause massive upsets in Bengal and Odisha. Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh also rubbished the exit poll predictions, calling them "fake" and saying the INDIA alliance is not going below the 295-mark #ExitPoll2024 #JairamRamesh #RahulGandhi #INDIAAlliance #AmitShah #ExitPoll2024live #ExitPolls2024 #ExitPollResults2024 #ExitPollLive #ExitPollResultsLive #LokSabhaElection2024 #LokSabha2024 #LokSabhaResultLive #LoksabhaExitPoll2024Live #BJP #BJPvsCongress #Congress #NarendraModi #RahulGandhi #LatestNews #BreakingNews #LiveNews #Elections2024 ~HT.99~PR.152~ED.102~
