Rahul Gandhi's Visit to Raebareli
Rahul Gandhi arrived in Raebareli, his parliamentary constituency, for a two-day visit. His first program was scheduled at the Batoohi Resort, where a meeting with booth presidents and workers was arranged. Even before this, local rumblings began. State Minister (Independent Charge) of the state government, Dinesh Pratap Singh, along with his supporters, sat on a protest near Kathwara. Holding placards, these individuals were chanting slogans against Rahul Gandhi and displaying posters that read 'Rahul Gandhi Go Back'.
As the situation began to escalate into tension, the administration intervened. Officials attempted to reason with the state minister, but his supporters were unwilling to move. Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi's convoy arrived at the scene and was stopped for security reasons. After a considerable delay, the administration found an alternative route, diverting his convoy through the other lane of the highway to reach the venue.
