New Delhi: Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi made a surprise visit to Uttar Pradesh.
But his visit left the Mayawati government angry and it believed that the Congress MP did not follow security norms.
The state government is reportedly planning to complain to the Centre for what it sees as a security protocol breach. The government has also dubbed Rahul's behaviour as irresponsible.
The Congress MP from Amethi reached Amausi airport in Lucknow on Wednesday evening and drove straight to Barabanki district in his convoy of five vehicles.
Sources in Barabanki said Rahul's convoy had a brief halt at Ram Nagar tehsil crossing on Gonda-Bahraich road.
It apparently took the authorities hours to put together all the information that had trickled down about Rahul’s visit.
The news of the visit by Rahul took Pradesh Congress Committee leaders in Lucknow by surprise who said that they had not been informed about his programme or itinerary.
Rahul enquired about the problems of power, potable water, the dismal state of roads and assured the local people that their problems will be redressed.
Rahul also took stock of the ongoing works under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme and power supply among other issues.
The Congress after its better than expected showing in UP in the General Elections is expected to give UP Chief Minister Mayawati stiff competition in the Assembly elections.
