Congress President Rahul Gandhi's nomination from his home turf, Amethi, was declared valid by the returning officer on Monday, 22 April, clearing way for Gandhi to contest Lok Sabha polls from the UP seat again.
This comes after Gandhi's nomination was disputed by the ruling BJP over discrepancies in his election affidavit, relating to educational qualifications and citizenship.
The nomination clearance comes on the day Rahul Gandhi is holding a rally in Amethi.
