Rahul Gandhi news and opinions. Rahul is a prominent Indian politician and member of the Parliament of India, representing the Amethi constituency.

In May 2004, Rahul stood for the Lok Sabha, the lower house of Parliament, from his father's constituency of Amethi in Uttar Pradesh and won with a landslide majority. His campaign was directed by his younger sister, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.

Many believe that Sonia Gandhi is trying to groom him for a chance to become a national-level Congress leader in the future. He's been taking the center stage in many political debates across India.

Special: Rahul begins groundwork for 2012 UP polls

The Assembly polls may be three years away in Uttar Pradesh, but Rahul Gandhi has begun the ground-level work to capture power in the key state. Perhaps emboldened by the Lok Sabha and the recent bypoll success, the Congress general secretary, it is learnt, is handpicking observers who will each be in charge of 40 constituencies -- to begin with -- for the 2012 polls.
