Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi was on Friday flooded with complaints and applications related to health problems, jobs, water and power crisis as he met around 2000 people on last day of the three-day tour to his parliamentary constituency Amethi.

The local MP interacted with party workers and people not only from his constituency but far flunged areas and adjoining districts as well at Munshiganj guest house on last day of his visit, party activists said.

Majority of the complaints and applications were related to problems in the parliamentary constituency, they said.

"Rahulhji patiently heard all the people and took their applications," a local party leader Ashok Dubey said.

"In turn he has asked us to gear up and be prepared for the forthcoming state assembly elections," he added.

A newly elected pradesh Congress Committee member Chaudhary Ram Adhar Pasi expressed his gratitude to Rahul for ensuring representation of Dalits in the new committee.

"I have done my work, now its your turn to do your work," Rahul said when block president of Sangrampur Rajiv Kumar Singh thanked the Congress scion for his election.

Earlier Rahul held a meeting with the official of Fortis in whose collaboration Sanjay Gandhi hospital is being run and enquired about its operations.

Rahul said a proposal to open such hospitals in other parts of the state was under consideration, they said.

During his three day visit the Congress leader had launched a number of schemes including Fiber-To-The-Panchayat (FTTP) and 3G services in his parliamentary constituency.

On the first day of the tour, two sisters from Lucknow intercepted Rahul's vehicle and narrated their woes to him after which the latter promised to look into it.
