Amethi (PTI): Rahul Gandhi faced the brunt of the simmering discontent within the Congress when his carcade was stopped while on the way to his Lok Sabha constituency here from Lucknow.
The issue came to a boil after he addressed party workers at Jagdishpur village, 70 km away, saying he had recieved complaints about internal squabbles and that it amounted to "indiscipline".
As he started out for the town, a local Youth Congress leader and several party workers squatted in front of his motorcade, forcing it to a halt.
When Rahul asked them what the trouble was, they accused him of not fulfilling his promise made six months ago and that not one of those displaced by the Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited plant set up at Jagdishpur had been given a job.
The incident comes even as the Congress general secretary and his mother UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi have been touring Uttar Pradesh, especially pockets of drought-hit Bundelkhand, on implementation of the Centre's flagship National Rural Employee Guarantee Scheme by the Mayawati government.
Party sources said the activists were also peeved at Rahul for "not spending enough time with them", perhaps a reference to speculation about him being projected as a national leader.
"He has taken a note of their demand on the BHEL project and would be talking to the higher authorities," they said.
Rahul on Saturday held a meeting with the women's self-help group of Rajiv Gandhi Charitable Trust and an open house session with party workers at Gauriganj guest house before leaving for Delhi.
