Rahul Gandhi was once again asked when he will marry. This time in Srinagar. Check out his answer
Srinagar/IBNS: Leader of Opposition in the Parliament, Rahul Gandhi, is often bugged with the question 'When will Rahul Gandhi marry?' This time he was asked about his wedding plans in Srinagar.
Interestingly, he was asked this question by women students.
Over the years, Rahul Gandhi's answers have ranged from "when the right girl comes along" to "I am married to the party", to "completely entangled in party work".
The conversation between the Congress leader, dressed in his trademark white T-shirt, and students touched upon politics, education, employment and, of course, marriage.
What do you think about marriage, a student asked the Congress leader.
"I have outlasted that pressure for 20-30 years," the 54-year-old leader, seated around a table with students in open ground, said with a big smile on his face. "But it is a good thing," he added.
You plan on getting married, another student asked the follow-up question.
"Yeah, yeah. I mean, I don't plan it. But if it happens...," he said.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The women of Kashmir have strength, resilience, wisdom and a whole lot to say. <br><br>But are we giving them a chance for their voices to be heard? <a href="https://t.co/11Te8MM5fH">pic.twitter.com/11Te8MM5fH</a></p>— Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) <a href="https://twitter.com/RahulGandhi/status/1828031393474994493?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 26, 2024</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Please do and also invite us, came the request.
"I will. I will," he promised.
Earlier this year, the question was posed to him during a rally in Raebareli parliamentary constituency for the first time after his nomination.
His sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who was at the gathering, had then told him to answer the question somebody from the crowd had asked.
He asked what the question was.
"Shaadi kab karoge (When will you marry)?"
Rahul assured it would have to be soon now. "Ab jaldi karni padegi (Will have to do it soon now)," he had said in Hindi.
In June last year, Lalu Yadav, during a mega opposition huddle in Patna, urged Rahul Gandhi to get married.
"Shaadi kariye, hum log baraati chalenge (Get married, we would like to be a part of your wedding procession)," said Lalu Yadav.
The Congress leader gamely replied:" Now that you have said it, it will happen."
In October last, Rahul Gandhi, during an interaction with students from Jaipur's Maharani College, was asked the same thing.
