Amethi, Aug 13 : Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi will visit Amethi from August 17.

According to party sources, Rahul is expected to pay surprise visits to some villages in the constituency.

During his three-day visit, he will also review the progress made under the NREGA when he will travel to the interior areas.
