Lucknow:
Microsoft chief Bill Gates will join Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi on a visit to his parliamentary constituency, Amethi, in Uttar Pradesh today.
The visit was kept a closely guarded secret until late Monday evening, party sources said.
Even top state Congress leaders were unaware of the move, as Gandhi had intended it to be a completely quiet affair, away from media gaze.
However, it is learnt that Gandhi proposes to take Gates to the same village where he spent a night along with British Foreign Secretary David Miliband in a ramshackle hut belonging to a poor Dalit.
The Congress leader is also understood to have arranged for an interaction session between Gates and women self-help groups formed by him in his constituency.
They propose to take a chartered flight from New Delhi to Fursatganj from where they would drive down to Amethi around 10 a.m.
