"The biggest responsibility is that of the state government to ensure our centrally aided schemes are implemented properly. But you know what the attitude of the state government has been towards Rae Bareily and Amethi," Sonia Gandhi said. During her visit Gandhi inaugurated a slew of development programmes in the constituency. She began by inaugurating the newly constructed building of a sub-post office and launching Wi-Max services BSNL at Dalmau. On Tuesday, she would meet party workers and people.

The bus-CG17 SS 9295 was carrying 20 special police officers (SPO) and over 30 civilians.The SPOs were on their way to participate in a special recruitment drive. The latest blast incident has taken place a day after the Maoists called for a 48 hour shutdown in five states-Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh. The sources said the attack might have been a pre -planned one. Reportedly, the Maoists also fired on the bus after the blast to ensure that nobody stays alive.
