As the fifth phase of polling comes to an end in Uttar Pradesh, it is the battle for Amethi that is grabbing eye-balls. That it is part of Rahul Gandhi’s eponymous Lok Sabha constituency – and thus an issue of great prestige for the Congress -- is perhaps the most insignificant reason for Amethi to be in the news. That BJP leader and union minister Smriti Irani, who took on the Gandhi scion here, paid special attention to the Assembly is also not much of a moot-point.
