Amethi: Congress MP from Amethi Rahul Gandhi today (May 18, 2005) said that he had prepared his own strategy to ensure development of his constituency, since not much help can be expected from the Uttar Pradesh Government.

"With the help of Centre and my own MP's local area development fund, I am trying to implement development works in Amethi, as I have accepted that the State Government would not help much in this regard," Rahul told reporters in Amethi after laying the foundation stone of 15 link roads, to be constructed at a cost of Rs 6.16 crore in Amethi.

Asked whether he was satisfied with the work done in Amethi after completing one year as the MP, he said that he can never be satisfied on this count but pointed out that work was being done in the areas of road, power and education.

"Centre ki madad se, in sab kshetron mein kaam ho raha hai (work was being undertaken in all these areas with the assistance of the centre)," he said.

However, you cannot sit down and assess your own work or give numbers to your performance, Rahul said, when asked to rate his performance on a scale of 1 to 10.
