Rahul reached Kansapur, nearly 9 km off Amethi, along with his friends at 10.30 pm. Though their host at the dinner at a short notice was a `savarn' (upper caste) Diptika Srivastava, who heads a women self-help group in the area, all invitees who joined in the community feast were Dalits from the neighbourhood.
The number approximately 50 stayed up till late as the Gandhi scion exchanged views with them. The conversation veered around a little bit of Maya bashing with Rahul telling women how the chief minister did not accord any priority to Amethi for any developement projects.
Rahul has lauched a similar self-help group in Budelkhand also, party sources told TOI and Amethi group has been frequenting the region to teach them the nitty-gritty of the project.
The MP shared their experiences and gave suggestions. The visit lasted approximately five hours. Rahul and his cronies got back to the rest house only after 3:00 am. It is his second visit to dine with Dalits in Kansapur, sources claimed.
