In a Congress social media post on May 1, Rahul Gandhi was seen playing chess where he draws an analogy between the game and politics. He says that in chess, as one improves in tactics, the opponent's pieces begin to function almost like one's own.

But in the interim, it had everyone a bit foxed in Uttar Pradesh. Would Rahul agree to contest from Amethi? He had appeared to keep a moody aloofness from his old constituency, which he lost to the BJP's Smriti Irani in 2019. Would that end?

Would the Family come to reclaim its northern legacy?
