Addressing a rally in Rae Bareli parliamentary constituency for the first time after his nomination, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on May 13 faced a familiar query. When is he getting married? Soon, he assured.

As he ended his speech, Mr. Gandhi called his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to the front of the dais.

"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.

After a few moments as he tried to find out what the question was, Mr. Gandhi assured it will have to be soon now. "Ab jaldi karni padegi," he said in Hindi.
