He visits Amethi to express his association & bonding with people of his erstwhile constituency that was once considered a Nehru-Gandhi family bastion.
“Rahul will be in Amethi to interact with party men at the Nirmala Devi Shaikshin Sansthan in Gauriganj on Wednesday. After interaction with the workers, Rahul may also pay a personal visit to some local Congress leaders to condole the death of their near and dear ones,” Amethi Congress spokesperson Anil Singh had said about the visit.
