The Gandhis

From the Delhi Press archives: Sonia Gandhi with a young Priyanka and Rahul Gandhi. Sonia Gandhi, who has been a three-time MP from Rae Bareli in Uttar Pradesh, is campaigning for the same seat this year. Rahul Gandhi is campaigning from Amethi, a seat he has held since 2004. Priyanka Gandhi, despite feverish speculation on whether she will formally join politics, has stated that she will not be contesting a seat. Rae Bareli and Amethi go to polls on 30 April and 7 May, respectively.

In our January 2014 issue, Hartosh Singh Bal wrote about how the Gandhis kept a party but lost the country in 'Family Ties.'
