Rae Bareli, 08 Sept (HS): Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and MP from Rae Bareli, Rahul

Gandhi reached Rae Bareli on Tuesday evening on a two-day visit. He was given a

warm welcome at Lahi border in Maharajganj. On the way, Samajwadi Party workers

also welcomed Rahul Gandhi with garlands, however, due to delay in the

scheduled programme, Rahul Gandhi's convoy did not stop at many places and

after being welcomed at Lahi border, it proceeded further.

It is noteworthy that Rahul Gandhi's two-day visit begins today,

in which he will go among the general public and listen to their problems on

the first day of his visit, while on September 9, he will chair an important

meeting of the District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committee

(Disha) organized at the Collectorate.

It is being reported that MP Rahul Gandhi will head directly to

rural areas this time and may visit the waterlogged Shivgarh and Maharajganj

areas to meet with people. The Congress district organization is preparing a

special route plan for Rahul Gandhi's public relations, so that he can interact

with as many local people as possible. There is considerable enthusiasm among

party workers regarding the MP's two-day visit, and all preparations are being

completed rapidly.

The district administration is also busy preparing for Rahul

Gandhi's visit and the Disha meeting. Project Director (PD) Munish

Chandra said that progress reports on plans and compliance reports on

instructions given in previous meetings have been requested from all concerned

departments for the September 9th meeting.
