May 09, 2015 21:22

Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi will be visiting his parliamentary constituency Amethi on May 18 and 19 to meet farmers affected by untimely rains.

"After Kisan Padyatra in Telangana on May 14/15, Rahul Gandhi will be visiting Amethi on May 18 & 19, to interact with farmers & INC workers", the Congress said on its Twitter handle.

Gandhi will have a busy schedule on May 18 and 19, who will meet people from all walks of life including farmers who have recently lost their crops by untimely hailstorms and hailstones, Chandra Kant Dubey, the representative of Gandhi in Amethi, said.

This will be Gandhi's first visit to his Parliamentary constituency after the row over the scrapping of the mega food park in Amethi broke out.

Earlier this week, the Congress Vice President had raised the food park issue in the Lok Sabha accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of practising "politics of revenge" by scrapping the project.
