Lucknow, Dec 8 (IANS): Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi Friday said he shared an emotional bond with the people of his parliamentary constituency as he asked party workers to begin work for the 2014 Lok Sabha polls and propagate the UPA's good work and people-friendly schemes.
In his meetings with party workers at different places in Amethi, he said he shared an emotional bond with the people there.
"I have an emotional bonding with people here and that is why I am drawn to Amethi every now and then," he said. The relationship is family like and not political, he added.
Gandhi patiently heard the problems faced by them and asked them to forget the past and begin work for the 2014 general elections.
Stressing that he wanted to carry forward the work left behind by his father and late prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, he said unemployment would be tackled very soon and hoped that opening of Malvika Steel in Jagdishpur and an ordinance factory in Munshiganj would create jobs.
He also exhorted party workers and people of his parliamentary constituency to make the best use of Rajiv Gandhi Industrial teaching Institute at Teekarmafi, the Indira Gandhi Nursing school in Munshiganj and Rajiv Gandhi Petroleum Institute and also spread word about development initiatives taken by the Congress in the region.

Sat, Dec 08 2012Dear Rahul Gandhi:
1. Your Granny and Great Grand Father, Jawaharlal Nehru had emotional bondage with whole India.
2. Because of them, democracy has survived till today in India.
3. Had it been Some RADICAL parties, they have no tolerance for criticism, can not let go power at any cost, continuous power what RAHUL's forefathers enjoyed would have made these radicals, a perfect dicator like HITLOR, IDI AMIN, SADDAM HUSSAIN or like Taliban of Afghanistan, of Pakistan.
