Congress president Sonia Gandhi arrived in her parliamentary constituency Rae Bareli on a two-day visit on Thursday.

Soon after landing at the Fursatganj airstrip, she drove to Rae Bareli and held a chaupal (open interaction) at Sardar village where she interacted with locals, women and farmers.

Giving them a patient hearing as they raised their problems, Gandhi assured them of all possible help. She is slated to meet party workers and local Congress leaders later in the day.

Gandhi is in the constituency after a gap of five months. She last visited Rae Bareli on September 9-10, 2015.
