The topic of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s marriage always manages to find its way into headlines. The 53-year-old politician was, once again, subjected to questions about his plans for matrimonial union by women students in Jaipur. Gandhi said he remained unmarried because he was “completely entangled” in his work and the Congress party.
Rahul Gandhi’s interaction with students from Jaipur’s Maharani College surfaced on social media.
“You are so smart and good-looking… why have you not thought about marriage?” one woman asked the Congress leader, to which, he replied, “Because I am completely entangled in my work and in the Congress party.”
Earlier this year, during the first joint meeting of the INDIA bloc in June, RJD president Lalu Prasad Yadav talked about Rahul Gandhi’s refusal to get married, asking him to tie the knot soon as it was still “not too late.”
Lalu stressed his mother, Congress veteran Sonia Gandhi also eagerly wants her son to settle down.
The RJD president said, “baat maaniye, shaadi kariye,” adding that “your mummy keeps fretting over your refusal to get married”.
Gandhi replied to his comments, saying “ab aapne boldia hai toh hojayega”. “We would like to be a part of your wedding procession (baraat) Prasad added.
In July 2023, RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav’s ‘no pm should be without wife‘ remark, again brought forth the topic of Rahul Gandhi’s marriage.
Yadav, while talking to reporters about the prime ministerial face from the Opposition front and his earlier advice to Rahul Gandhi to get married soon, said that it was “wrong to stay at the official residence of the prime minister without a wife”.
“Whoever becomes the PM should not be without a wife. Staying at PM’s residence without a wife is wrong. This should be done away with,” the former chief minister of Bihar said.
