Rahul Gandhi to take part in padyatra in former constituency, Amethi

New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will participate in a ‘padyatra’ in his former parliamentary constituency of Amethi on December 18 as part of the party’s ongoing nationwide ‘Jan Jagran Abhiyan’. Gandhi had represented the Amethi Lok Sabha constituency in Uttar Pradesh from 2004 to 2019. He is currently the MP from Wayanad in Kerala. AICC General Secretary in-charge for Uttar Pradesh Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will also join the padyatra on the same day. AICC General Secretary K C Venugopal said the Congress had launched the ‘Jan Jagran Abhiyan’ on November 14 to expose the “gross mismanagement” of the economy by the Narendra Modi government and make the people aware of the Centre’s insensitivity in addressing the prevalent back-breaking inflation. —(PTI)
