Amethi (UP): Continuing his visits to
rural households, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi spent the night in
the house of a villager in Kansapur in the district and had
food with locals.
After attending the state coordination committee
meeting in Lucknow yesterday, the AICC general secretary went
to mingle with people of his constituency in the village in
Sangrampur block Thursday evening.
Rahul spent the night in the house of one Awadhesh and
Seema Srivastava and had food with a number of locals which
included many Dalit women, a Congress leader said.
During his interaction with the villagers, Rahul
blamed the Uttar Pradesh government for the state's
backwardness and asked the people to give Congress a chance to
develop the state.
"People of the state need a government, which works
for development of the people of all castes and creed. People
need overall development of the state and not of parks only",
Rahul said, while talking to villagers.
The Amethi MP, who has undertaken such trips in the
past to villages in his constituency, has been attacked by
Chief Minister Mayawati for his visits.
