Jhansi (UP):
Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi paid a surprise visit to a Dalit household in Medhki village in Mauranipur area of the district and took feedback on Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) and other schemes from Bhadarwara villagers.
Gandhi made an unscheduled visit to Medhki late last night and enquired about the problems relating to water, power and fertilisers from the villagers.
Rahul spent some time with a Dalit family in the area and during a 'chaupal' (meeting), told the locals about the central government's schemes, Congress sources said.
Gandhi had his dinner of "puri-subzi" prepared by Arti, daughter-in-law of Kunnjilal, a Dalit. He later left the area after distributing toffees among the children.
Earlier in the day, to feel the pulse of the youth in the economically backward region of Bundelkhand during a camp organised by the Youth Congress here, Gandhi had a detailed interaction for around two and a half hours with the locals on various important issues during Yuva Drishti training camp of the youth wing.
No senior Congress leader or party functionary accompanied Rahul on his mass contact programme in the district.
