Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi's visit to historic Ghantewala sweet shop in Old Delhi on the occasion of Diwali was a fun activity indeed albeit loaded with one of 'sweetest' wishes for him. The owner Sushant Jain said that he told the Congress MP that they were waiting to see him get married in order to get the wedding order. Rahul Gandhi also tried his hand at making Imarti and Besan ladoos at the shop.
Sushant Jain termed Rahul Gandhi as India's "most eligible bachelor" and mentioned that he wanted to buy sweets for his friends and family."He (Rahul Gandhi) wanted to buy sweets for his home, friends, and relatives. I said, "Sir, you're most welcome -- this is your own shop." When he came, he said he would make them himself and taste them too. His father, the late Rajiv ji, really liked imarti, so I said, "Sir, you should try that." So he made imarti. He really likes besan laddus too, so I said, "Sir, you can make those as well." So he made these two items"
"All of India is talking about him being the most eligible bachelor. I said, "Rahul ji, please get married soon -- we're waiting, so that we can get the order for your wedding sweets too," Sushant Jain said.
