Amethi : Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi will be on a three-day visit to his constituency Amethi from Wednesday, Congress leaders said in Amethi. Gandhi will also visit his mother and Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s constituency Raebareli.

The Congress vice president’s trip to his parliamentary constituency generated headlines after district authorities in Amethi suggested a postponement citing security concerns. However, they gave the go-ahead on Monday.

Giving details of his schedule, Congress leaders said Gandhi would land in Lucknow on Wednesday and leave for Amethi by road, stopping at villages to meet people before staying the night at the Munshiganj guest house.

On 5 October, he is scheduled to hold a janta darshan (a programme to meet people to hear their grievances) at the guest house and meet party workers at Rajiv Gandhi college in Tiloi and in Salon before calling it a day at the Bhuemau (Raebareli) guest house.
