Congress president Rahul Gandhi, with the aim to strengthen the party in Uttar Pradesh ahead of 2019 Lok Sabha elections, will visit his constituency Amethi on Monday.
This is for the first time after taking over as the party president that Rahul will be paying a visit to the Congress bastion.
After strengthening the party in Gujarat, Rahul is looking to doing the same in Uttar Pradesh, where it is not in a very good position at the moment.
Rahul will pay a two-day visit to his Lok Sabha constituency beginning today and will reach Amethi via Rae Bareli.
The newly-elected Congress president is expected to receive a grand reception by the party workers. He will also be visiting the Hanuman Mandir and eat khichdi, specially prepared for Makar Sankranti.
