Sonia, Rahul adopt villages under Modi's model village scheme Congress President Sonia Gandhi and Vice President Rahul Gandhi have adopted one village each in their respective constituencies to develop them into model villages under "Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana" launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi last month. Party sources said that while Sonia Gandhi has selected village Udwa from Jagatpur block in her Parliamentary seat Raebareli, Rahul has chosen village 'Deeh' in Jagdishpur block in Amethi constituency, an area industrialised during his father late Rajiv Gandhi's Prime Ministerial tenure. Udwa in Jagatpur is also the birthplace of Rana Beni Madhav and has a rich historical background. Party sources, however, said that adopting the villages does not mean endorsing the scheme launched by Modi. No Signature |
