Rahul Gandhi Political Career

In March 2004, Rahul Gandhi announced his entry into politics by announcing that he would contest the May 2004 elections. Rahul Gandhi ran and won his first elections in 2004, in the constituency of Amethi previously occupied by his father and then his mother.

In 2006, together with her sister Priyanka, they oversaw Sonia Gandhi’s campaign in Rae Bareilly’s constituency. In 2007, Rahul Gandhi was appointed Secretary-General of the Indian National Congress and Chairman of the Indian Youth Congress, the party’s youth organization.

Since that time, he has often been seen as a potential candidate for prime minister. In 2012, he oversaw the Congressional campaign in local elections in Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state and where the party has had low scores for several years. Congress wins 28 seats, 6 more than in previous elections, but fails to compete with the state’s major parties.

On November 16, 2012, Rahul Gandhi became chairman of the Congress Coordinating Committee for the 2014 elections. On Jan. 19, 2013, he became vice-president of Congress.

On 16 December 2017, he took the presidency in place of his mother Sonia Gandhi, who held this position for 19 years. During the campaign leading up to the 2019 legislative elections, he was the target of Islamophobic and xenophobic attacks.

He is presented by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as a Muslim because a photograph showed him as a child praying in a mosque.

BJP Former chairman Amit Shah also claimed he was running in a predominantly Muslim constituency (which was wrong), which he compared to Pakistan; he also explained that when he saw the processions of his opponent’s supporters he could not tell if the action was taking place “in India or in Pakistan”.

On July 3, 2019, Rahul Gandhi published a four-page letter on Twitter to formalize his resignation from the presidency of the Congress Party, just over a month after the humiliation suffered by his camp in the legislative elections. His term of office only lasted a year and a half.
