Priyanka pained at lack of basic amenities in Amethi
Amethi (PTI): Congress star campaigner Priyanka Gandhi on Monday said she was "pained" that poverty still prevails in Amethi despite efforts by her family to provide basic amenities to the people.
Addressing an election rally in Amethi, from where her brother Rahul Gandhi is seeking re-election, she said her brother "has tried to do his best in providing basic amenities for the area like electricity, water and roads".
"Yet I feel pained to see that poverty still prevails in many areas of the constituency. I will ask Rahul to ensure speedy implementation of development work here. Our family has been working for you since 1984, when my father Rajiv was an MP from here, and, therefore, we are duty bound to serve you and improve your conditions," she added.
Ms. Priyanka said that the UPA government has started many programmes like the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) and the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, which have been formulated specially for the benefit of the rural poor.

Modi has provided electricity, water for most of guajart, but congress cannot even provide basic amenites for 15 yrs in 1 constituency which is under thier tight control, how do they hope to provide it for all of india.
But MP's (Rajiv was MP there) job is not to provide basic amenities in thier constituency afaik, i think its the MLA's job to do that's besides the point, unless amethi MLA is also kongress.
Bummer.
