Amethi/IBNS, April 30 -- The Amethi unit of Congress, tired of waiting for the candidate announcement, is holding a protest at the Uttar Pradesh constituency that has enjoyed VIP status for decades.

Congress workers sat on a protest outside the party office raising slogans of Amethi mange Gandhi parivar (Amethi demands the Gandhi family).

The Congress is yet to announce candidates for the two prestigious seats from UP- Amethi and Raebareli.

Election for both seats is due on May 20 in the fifth phase.

The protests came just four days ahead of the last date for nomination filing.

This is a Gandhian system to summon our leaders, one of the party workers told NDTV. Enough time has been spent dilly-dallying. We are running out of patience...
