Rahul Gandhi: I have family like relationship with Amethi's people

Congress General Secretary and MP Rahul Gandhi who visited Amethi recently had said that he shared an emotional bond with the people of his parliamentary constituency and also asked Congress  workers to begin work for the 2014 Lok Sabha polls and propagate the UPA's good work and pro-poor welfare schemes.

"I have an emotional bonding with people here and that is why I am drawn to Amethi every now and then," he said. The relationship is family like and not political, he added.

Rahul Gandhi patiently heard the problems being faced by the people in the region and asked them to forget the past and begin work for the 2014 general elections. He stressed that he wanted to carry forward the work left behind by his father and late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and said unemployment would be tackled very soon and hoped that opening of Malvika Steel in Jagdishpur and an ordinance factory in Munshiganj would create jobs.

He also exhorted party workers and people of Amethi to make the best use of Rajiv Gandhi Industrial teaching Institute at Teekarmafi, the Indira Gandhi Nursing school in Munshiganj and Rajiv Gandhi Petroleum Institute and also make people aware about development initiatives taken by the Congress in the region.
