Rahul Gandhi strikes chord with Amethi again


Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi continued to strike emotional chord with the people of his parliament constituency, Amethi. He once again visited his parliamentary constituency and interacted with women members of self-help group and youth. The recent killing of two Indian soldiers by the Pak army was also a point of discussion in his interactions.
In a meeting with about 3,000 women SHGs who came from 22 districts of UP at a school, Rahul Gandhi faced several questions regarding the incident and call for strict action. According to those present in the meeting, the women workers demanded strong action in this regard.
Rahul Gandhi told them that efforts were on to resolve the issue peacefully. "We do not act in hatred or out of envy," the Congress leader told them. Exhorting those associated with the self-help groups to motivate more women, Rahul Gandhi said that the aim of the 'Rajiv Gandhi Mahila Vikas Pariyojna' is to make them self-reliant. Asking women to realise their strength, Mr Gandhi said that there are programmes under the 'pariyojna' to improve their financial condition.
"There are schemes being run by the Centre through which women can improve their lot," the Congress General Secretary said. Rahul Gandhi also appealed them to take advantage of the educational institutes for their children so that their future generations have a better life.
