A group of women farmers were invited to Sonia Gandhi's residence for a luncheon following a promise Rahul Gandhi made during his field visits in Haryana. The women have a light-hearted chat with the Gandhi family.
Congress leader Sonia Gandhi along with her daughter and son hosted a luncheon for a group of women farmers from Haryana who told her to "Get Rahul married". When Gandhi replied by saying that they should find a girl for her son while Rahul Gandhi said "it will happen".
The group of women farmers from Haryana's Sonipat district were invited by Rahul Gandhi to his mother Sonia Gandhi's residence and shared food with them, a promise made by him during his recent visit to their fields.
During the conversation at her 10, Janpath residence, a woman asks Sonia Gandhi, "Get Rahul married" to which Sonia Gandhi tells her "You find a girl for him".
At this, Rahul Gandhi said, "It will happen...". He is also seen being fed by one of the women.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra tells the women that "Rahul was naughtier than her, but she got the scolding instead".
On July 8, Rahul Gandhi made an impromptu stop at Madina village in Sonipat. He interacted with people and spent time with farmers working in agricultural lands.
He also took part in paddy sowing, drove a tractor and ate food brought by women labourers working in the fields, party leaders from the state said.
Rahul Gandhi had then promised them to invite them over to Delhi for a 'Delhi Darshan' as they said they had never visited the national capital despite living so close.
During his visit, Rahul Gandhi had made the farm women talk to his sister Priyanka Gandhi and they had expressed the desire that she invites them over for food to her residence.
"A day to remember for Maa, Priyanka and me with some very special guests. Delhi darshan of Sonipat's farmer sisters, lunch with them at home and lots of talk. Got priceless gifts - desi ghee, sweet lassi, homemade pickles and lots of love," Rahul Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi on Saturday while sharing the video of the meeting.
"Rahul Gandhi had promised to take the farmer sisters of Sonipat to Delhi. Farmer sisters came to Delhi, the promise was fulfilled," the Congress said on its Twitter handle.
The Gandhis shared a light moment with the rural women and offered them lunch. Rahul Gandhi is heard asking if they liked the food and enquired whether everyone has had sweets. He is also seen distributing chocolates to the visiting children and girls.
