PM visits world, not homes of distressed farmers:Rahul
"The PM travels the world, but has not visited the home of even one farmer who committed suicide," Gandhi said from his car to the hundreds of people who crowded to welcome him.
He then got off his car and walked 2 km to where a food park, now scrapped, was to be built.
Rahul vowed to "try and get back" the food park, which was sanctioned by the previous UPA government. "It would have benefited many people, but the Modi government has snatched it away," he said.
His attack on the PM came when Modi was on a foreign tour, visiting China, Mongolia and South Korea.
Rahul has been touring parts of the country meeting the families of distressed farmers who have committed suicide.
This is Rahul's first visit to Amethi since December 2014, and the BJP has been accusing him of neglecting the constituency that he has represented for over a decade.
Ahead of his visit, union minister and BJP leader Smriti Irani visited Amethi last week. She claimed that Gandhi's visit was announced only after she made planst to go to Amethi. "I am glad, at least, Rahul is following my footsteps, the people of Amethi will get to see him," she said sarcastically.
