After Rahuls Amethi visit,Sonia stops by at Rae Bareli

Sonias tour began at 10.30 in the morning from Beriyan Tola village. A young Dalit woman,Vidya,took Sonias hand and led her to a heap of debris,of her house that collapsed in the rain last year,forcing her family to live under a thatched roof,supported by wooden poles and with no walls. Sonia assured her that she would do something about her problem.

The next stop was at Sabji village,where villagers complained that children were not getting the mid-day meals in local schools for the past fortnight. Sonia asked her representative Kishori Lal Sharma to inquire about the matter immediately. In most of the villages Sonia visited,people complained about non-payment or delayed payment of NREGS wages.
