Sonia Gandhi visits Raebareli, targets Modi govt on prise rise

Congress President Sonia Gandhi was in her parliamentary constituency Raebareli. She met with ITI workers who complained to her that they had not received their salaries for the past four months. She promised to take up their issues with the concerned authorities. The Congress president, to a question by some reporters on the completion of 100 days of the Narendra Modi government outside the Jai Ma Anandi Devi temple in Bheetar Gaon where she had gone for darshans, responded the “people will give a reply to whether prices (of essential commodities) have gone down or not”. At Rehwa village, women complained to her about power and water woes, and absence of doctors at the newly opened primary health centre in the area. Sonia Gandhi also visited the house of Shambhu Sharan Diwedi Bandhu, a litterateur who died recently, to pay her condolences to his family members.
