Gandhi during her first visit to her constituency after the Lok Sabha election visited some sites where NREGS work is on and asked for the list of people employed there.

'From the list, she called a number of people and talked to them personally. She also asked officials to ensure proper implementation of NREGS projects,' said Shivendra Kumar, a block coordinator of the Ahiryar village.

Gandhi inaugurated a newly constructed hostel building in the Feroze Gandhi Institute of Engineering and Technology in Rae Bareli. In the evening she offered prayers at Baleshwar temple.
