Amethi, Aug 18 (IANS) Congress general secretary and Amethi MP Rahul Gandhi Tuesday said he would do everything possible for the development of Uttar Pradesh if people opted for the Congress in the state.
Rahul, who is on a three-day visit to his constituency, told a huge gathering of villagers after inaugurating a village school: “The state needs the Congress to ensure allround development of Uttar Pradesh.”

“We are trying our best but the state government is not eager to help the central government for the implementation of developmental schemes”, he added.

The school is in the Pakargaon village of Tiloi block of his constituency.

“Be it water, electricity, employment or development, it is only possible if you bestow your trust upon the Congress”, Gandhi said.

Earlier in the day, he also attended a closed door meeting with local party workers in Munshiganj town.

Indian cricketer R.P.Singh, who hails from the neighbouring Rae Bareli (Congress chief Sonia Gandhi’s constituency), also reached there to call on Gandhi. Singh left shortly after the meeting, avoiding any interaction with waiting media persons.

The Congress general secretary would also be making surprise visits to some villages in the constituency and would meet members of women’s self-help groups there, state congress spokesperson A.P.Singh told IANS.

On the third day of his visit Wednesday, Gandhi will attend the certificate distribution function of the Amethi branch of Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad.
