India, Feb. 18 -- With Sonia Gandhi poised to enter the Rajya Sabha from Rajasthan, Rae Bareli, her Lok Sabha seat, has fallen vacant, and it is evident that the Congress would be fielding someone new from there. Rae Bareli has a long history of its association with the Nehru-Gandhi family; both Feroze Gandhi and Indira Gandhi represented the seat, as did Sonia Gandhi later and before her Arun Nehru and Satish Sharma amongst others.
