Rahul Gandhi launches fifth phase Yatra on January 17
During his five-day tour, Rahul is expected to touch parts of Bundelkhand and Sonbhadra. The party sources said the detailed programme is still being worked out. Rahul has covered a number of key constituencies in central, western and eastern Uttar Pradesh during the last four phases of his public connect programme.
Sonbhadra, the third stoppage in the itinerary, is another poor, tribal-dominated area known for its naxal connections. The party has been trying to make a dent in the constituency for the last two years and even held a massive rally last year which was addressed by UPCC units incharge Digvijay Singh.
During the first two days of his tour, Rahul is slated to address public meetings in Lalitpur and Jhansi. "The timey visit will give a major boost to the party's prospect in this region, "said Vivek Singh, party's MLA from Banda, who is supervising the preparations. Jhansi and Lalitpur, he told TOI, have seen mass migration over the last few years as the unemployed and famished locals fled to greener pastures in Punjab and Maharashtra.
Bundlekhand is a vital link in the chain. The impoverished belt has seen a fierce turf war between political parties after Rahul's visit to the region four years ago. While addressing a public rally in Jhansi, Rahul had targeted the Mayawati government for the first time and charged that funds sent by the Central government were being siphoned off by the BSP government. This had set off a series of attack and counter attack between the BSP and Congress party, and soon SP and even BJP also joined in.
