Lucknow: Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Monday received the administration’s permission to visit his parliamentary constituency Amethi in Uttar Pradesh on October 4.
Amethi District Magistrate Yogesh Kumar said on Monday: “We urged Rahul Gandhi in a confidential letter to postpone his visit due to security reasons on account of Durga Puja, Muharram and Gandhi Jayanti, but the visit could not be postponed.”
The District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police had urged the Amethi MP to postpone his visit.
The letter angered the Congress workers and party leaders who alleged that the administration was trying to prevent Rahul Gandhi from visiting Amethi.
