Politician Kumar Vishwas, who mocked Rahul Gandhi for visiting Dalit houses in Uttar Pradesh to score photo-ops, did precisely the same thing today.

Vishwas, a poet-turned politician, claimed the family of Sunita in Jawaharpur village here was still leading a "miserable" life, a day after he had mocked the Congress Vice President for spending nights at Dalit homes, calling it just "symbolism". He also had food at the home.

Rahul stayed overnight at the same home on January 26, 2008 and had food there. Vishwas claimed that Sunita's fortunes had not changed
despite the Congress leader's visit. He spoke to Sunita about her problems and directed party workers to ensure that she got a roof over her head.

"We have no permanent residence till this date. Our children are like orphans now. No proper food or education is available," Sunita told reporters.

Later, while talking to people, Vishwas said Rs 55,000 crore was reportedly spent on Amethi's development, which was not visible.

"There is no electricity..there is no water in tubewells, no development in villages... people should ask Rahul," he said.
