Congress MLA Aditi Singh Dismisses Rumours of 'Marriage With Rahul Gandhi'
"I am upset with the kind of rumours on social media about my marriage with Rahul Gandhi ji. He is my 'rakhi brother'," Aditi said.
Raebareli, May 6: Congress MLA from Raebareli, Aditi Singh on Sunday dismissed the rumours of her marriage with party president Rahul Gandhi, circulating on social media over the past week.
Aditi said such rumours are untrue and "mischievous", adding that her relation with Rahul Gandhi is that of a sibling. "I am upset with the kind of rumours on social media about my marriage with Rahul Gandhi ji. He is my 'rakhi brother'. I appeal the rumour mongers to refrain from such defamatory things," the 29-year-old said while speaking to a news channel.
Aditi also took to Twitter to issue a clarification:
Congress claims the messages are a handwork of the Bharatiya Janata Party's IT Cell, which aims to tarnish the image of Rahul Gandhi ahead of the Karnataka assembly elections.
