BJP on Thursday had declared Dinesh Pratap Singh as its nominee for Rae Bareli, a constituency where he previously faced off against Sonia Gandhi in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and was defeated by a margin of nearly 1.6 lakh votes. He, however, received a total of 38 percent votes, the highest number of votes among all BJP candidates in the history of Rae Bareli.
