New Delhi, January 19

MP from Amethi, KL Sharma, on Monday shed light on the Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition, Rahul Gandhi's schedule for his two-day visit to his parliamentary constituency, Raebareli.

Speaking to ANI, Sharma said that the Congress MP's schedule includes meeting the public, inaugurating developmental projects, and addressing the MGNREGA Chaupal.

He said, "Rahul ji has a 2-day program here. He will arrive here this evening, and his programs will begin tomorrow. In the morning, he will meet the public. Later, he will inaugurate various development programs. He will also inaugurate the Rae Bareli T20 Premier League...He will also address an MGNREGA Chaupal..."

The Lok Sabha LoP will travel from Lucknow to Rae Bareli by road today and will spend the night at the Bhuemau Guest House.

On day 1 of his two-day schedule i.e January 20, Rahul Gandhi will hold a 'MGNREGA Chaupal' (community meeting) in Rohaniya, Unchahar.

Rahul Gandhi will also inaugurate the Premier League T20 cricket tournament organised by the Youth Sports Academy Raebareli at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, IIT Colony, and inaugurate the MPLADS (Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme) works. He will also be visiting the residence of the Municipal Corporation President.

Subsequently, for day 2, the Congress MP has a meeting scheduled at his guest house with the senior party leaders.

Congress has opposed the newly enacted Viksit Bharat- Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G) Act, 2025, which replaces the flagship rural employment scheme.

Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee President Ajay Rai on Sunday said that a comprehensive program has been planned to protest against the new law. The Congress will organise 30 Mahapanchayats in Uttar Pradesh. Ajay Rai said that Rahul Gandhi and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge may also participate in some of these Mahapanchayats.

Earlier this month, the party had announced a nationwide three-phase agitation titled "MGNREGA Bachao" following the Centre's newly enacted VB-G RAM G Act.

Inaugurating a local T20 league is a smart move to connect with the youth. Sports can be a great unifier. The schedule seems packed with both formal projects and informal interactions, which is the right balance for a constituency visit.

While I appreciate the effort, I have to respectfully say that these visits often feel very staged. The real test is what happens after the cameras leave. Will the MPLADS projects be completed on time and with quality? That's what matters to us in UP. 🤔

The focus on MGNREGA is timely. The VB-G RAM G Act has created a lot of uncertainty for daily wage earners in our village. These Mahapanchayats are necessary to voice our opposition. Hope Rahul Gandhi's presence amplifies the issue at the national level.

Development programs and cricket! 😄 This is how you connect with all sections of society. Raebareli has been a Congress stronghold, and such continuous engagement is key to maintaining that connect. The road travel from Lucknow also shows a down-to-earth approach.

Interesting to see the political strategy at play here. The visit combines constituency service with launching a state-wide protest movement against the central government's policy. It's a clear attempt to rally the party's rural base in Uttar Pradesh ahead of future elections.
