Kumar Vishwas says his family told to leave Amethi

Poll panel sources said the district administration was within its rights to take such action but have been asked to be polite, "keeping sensitivities in mind".

Amethi is witnessing a triangular battle between Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi, BJP's television actor-turned-politician Smriti Irani and AAP's Kumar Vishwas.

While Vishwaas has been camping in the high-profile constituency for the last four months, Smriti Irani is also giving sleepless nights to her political opponents by travelling in the countryside.

BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi while addressing an election meeting in Gauriganj Monday had called Irani her younger sister.

Worried at a surging opposition, Sonia Gandhi recently addressed her first election rally in Amethi after a gap of 10 years.

Amethi goes to polls May 7.
