Bill Gates to visit Amethi with Rahul Gandhi Tuesday


Lucknow, May 11 (IANS) Microsoft chief Bill Gates will join Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi on a visit to his parliamentary constituency, Amethi, in Uttar Pradesh Tuesday.

The visit was kept a closely guarded secret until late Monday evening, party sources said.

Even top state Congress leaders were unaware of the move, as Gandhi had intended it to be a completely quiet affair, away from media gaze.

However, it is learnt that Gandhi proposes to take Gates to the same village where he spent a night along with British Foreign Secretary David Miliband in a ramshackle hut belonging to a poor Dalit.

The Congress leader is also understood to have arranged an interaction between Gates and women self-help groups formed by him in his constituency.

They propose to take a chartered flight from New Delhi to Fursatganj from where they would drive down to Amethi around 10 a.m.

    If I remember correctly the Congress MLA (D K Shivakumar) in Karnataka had raised the issue of ISKCON using pictures of poor kids for fund collection in western countries. They said this was insulting.

    Now what is Rahul doing taking people on poverty tourism in his constituency. Earlier it was David Milliband of UK and now Bill Gates. Can we see some protest from Karnataka congress MLAs now??
