LUCKNOW: Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi will undertake a two-day tour of his parliamentary constituency Amethi on Tuesday. Rahul, who will visit Amethi for the first time since his elevation in the party ranks will meet senior party functionaries and leaders in the area, apart from laying the foundation of some development works in the area.
Regarding this as the maiden visit of the 'prime minister-in-the-making', local Congress leaders said the party camp is happy to be hosting the future PM. "There was a general sense of disappointment after Sonia Gandhi turned down the top job after Rajiv Gandhi. Now, with Rahul's elevation in the party's hierarchy, we are thrilled to see the Gandhi lineage being carried forward."
Though Rahul will not address any public rallies during his two-day visit, his closed-door meetings are expected to concentrate on mass scale restructuring of the party cadres. Over the past few months, the party has emphasised need for a complete overhaul of the systems to include more grassroot level workers in the decision-making process.
With Rahul's elevation, senior party leaders said they also expected to see the younger crop of Congressmen being elevated in the party ranks.
