A month after defeating Congress president Rahul Gandhi in his pocket borough Amethi, Union minister Smriti Irani is set to make a two-day Thanksgiving visit to all the five assembly segments of her constituency from Saturday.
This is her first planned visit to Amethi since she won the election on May 23. Earlier on May 25, Irani had dashed to Amethi after the killing of one of her aides Surendra Singh in Baraulia village of the district.
Besides Thanksgiving, Irani is expected to announce some key schemes aimed at ensuring basic amenities in the constituency. She is also likely to visit a cow shelter home in Musafirkhana.
Uttar Pradesh deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya, minister in-charge of Amethi Mohsin Raza and Jagdishpur (in Amethi) MLA Suresh Pasi is expected to accompany her.

As Maurya, who is also the state PWD minister, is accompanying Irani, several road projects may be announced or unveiled. That Amethi would figure high on Yogi Adityanath government’s agenda was apparent when the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in UP conceded the much-awaited demand of affiliation to Amethi degree colleges from Ram Manohar Lohia Avadh University, Faizabad.
