New Delhi/Amethi/IBNS: Congress top leader Rahul Gandhi has surpassed his mother Sonia Gandhi's margin of victory in Uttar Pradesh's Rae Bareli, heading for a mammoth victory from the party bastion.

Rahul is ahead of BJP's Dinesh Pratap Singh by 2.62 lakh votes.

Singh is also a member of the Yogi Adityanath cabinet in Uttar Pradesh.

After Sonia moved to Rajya Sabha, Rahul, who was defeated by Union Minister Smriti Irani in Amethi in 2019, decided to contest from Rae Bareli.

In the bigger picture, the anti-BJP front INDIA has managed to restrict BJP from achieving the majority mark but the incumbent is set for a third straight term in an alliance.

As per the latest trends, NDA is leading in 292 seats, INDIA in 234 seats, Others in 17.
