Fursatganj: The high-profile Amethi Lok Sabha constituency of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday had a distinguished visitor in Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates, who promised to develop the area as an IT hub.
After landing at the airstrip here Bill Gates, accompanied by Rahul Gandhi, drove to Bahadurpur village in Jais town and addressed a meeting of Rajiv Gandhi Mahila Vikas Pariyojna, a self-help group of women.
Mr. Gates explained the importance of computer education and promised to try his best to develop Amethi and adjoining Rae Bareli, a Lok Sabha seat represented by Congress President Sonia Gandhi, as an IT hub.
Rahul Gandhi and Bill Gates are likely to visit a number of villages and see various development works being carried out in Amethi constituency.
The Congress leader had spent a night along with British Foreign Secretary David Miliband in a ramshackle hut belonging to Shivkumari Kori, a poor Dalit, at Simara village in Amethi in Jaunary last year.
Rahul Gandhi is likely to take Bill Gates to the same village.
