New Delhi: Congress vice-president Rahul
Gandhi will take a break from his ongoing 'Navsarjan Yatra' in
poll-bound Gujarat to visit Rae Bareli in Uttar Pradesh
today to meet the families of victims of a massive explosion
at an NTPC power plant.
At least 20 people were killed and nearly 100 injured
when a massive explosion ripped a boiler at the state-run
power giant NTPC's Unchahar plant.
"Due to the unfortunate NTPC accident, I will visit Rae
Bareli on tomorrow morning. Will join Gujarat Navsarjan Yatra
in the afternoon," the Congress leader tweeted yesterday.
Rahul Gandhi yesterday began his three-day campaign tour
of south Gujarat, where Assembly poll will be held in
December.
Congress president Sonia Gandhi, who represents Rae
Bareli in the Lok Sabha, in her condolence message said she
wanted to be with the families of the victims to share their
pain in this hour of grief, but could not do so due to her
indisposition.
