Congress could only take one seat to its name in Uttar Pradesh in Raebareli. Gandhi polled 55.80 percent votes against her nearest rival Singh who secured 38.36 percent votes.
Sonia Gandhi has never lost from Raebareli, a Gandhi family bastion in Uttar Pradesh’s Awadh region. The seat has been won by the party every time but twice since the first election here in 1957. Singh, who recently switched to the party from the Congress, is less likely.
The 'mahagathbandhan' has not fielded its candidate from Raebareli to avoid division of votes in the opposition camp.
At 03.17 PM, the Sensex shed 399.52 points or 1.02 percent at 38,710.69, while, the Nifty50 was down 106.70 points, or 0.91 percent at 11,631.20.
