Congress leader Rahul Gandhi addressed a rally in Rae Bareli parliamentary constituency for the first time after his nomination, where he faced a familiar query about his marriage.
He assured the audience that he would be getting married soon. As he concluded his speech, Gandhi invited his sister, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, to the front of the dais.
He put his hand on her shoulders and fondly touched her face to express his appreciation for her efforts in the Rae Bareli campaign.
"I am touring different parts of the country in the election, and my sister is spending time here. A big thanks to her for this," he said.
Priyanka Gandhi 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)," somebody asked.
Rahul, who will be 54 next month, assured it will have to be soon. "Ab jaldi karni padegi," he said in Hindi.
