Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi paid a surprise visit to a
Dalit household in Medhki village in Mauranipur area of the district
and took feed back on MGNREGA and other schemes from Bhadarwara
villagers.
Gandhi made an unscheduled visit to Medhki late last night and
enquired about the problems relating to water, power and fertilisers
from the villagers.
Rahul spent some time with a Dalit family in the area and during a
'chaupal' (meeting), told the locals about the central government's
schemes, Congress sources said.
Gandhi had his dinner of puri-subzi prepared by Arti, daughter-in-law
of Kunnjilal, a Dalit. He later left the area after distributing
toffees among the children.
Earlier in the day, to feel the pulse of youths in the economically
backward region of Bundelkhand during a camp organised by the Youth
Congress in Jhansi, Gandhi had a detailed interaction for around two
and a half hours with the youths on various important issues during
Yuva Drishti training camp of the youth wing.
Rahul visited Bhadarwara village this morning and took feed back on
MGNREGA and other schemes from the villagers.
No senior Congress leader or party functionary accompanied Rahul on
his mass contact programme in the district.
Rahul later toured at least four villages in neighbouring Hamirpur
district taking feedback from the people about MGNREGS and other
central schemes.
Arriving from Jhansi, he visited Ainjhi and Jakheri villages on the
Rath-Hamirpur road, about 57 km from the district headquarters,
besides some other villages and talked to locals, Congress sources
said.
He enquired about Centre's Bundelkhand package, the role of officials
and gram pradhans and other related problems.
