New Delhi,
Congress president Rahul Gandhi has found an unusual admirer in a 107-year-old woman in Bangalore.

In a tweet, Bangalore-based woman Dipali Sikand wrote that her grandmother had a wish to meet Rahul Gandhi, who she found “handsome”.

“Today my grandmother turned 107. Her one wish. To meet Rahul Gandhi! I asked her why? She whispers…He’s handsome!” tweeted Sikand on Monday with a picture of her grandmother cutting a cake.

The Congress president responded: “Dear Dipali, Please wish your beautiful grandmother a very happy birthday and a merry Xmas. Please also give her a big hug from me. Best, Rahul”.

Later, Gandhi called her up and Sikand acknowledged, tweeting again: “And as if this was not enough Mr Gandhi called and personally wished my Nani!! This is #TrueHumaness. Thank you all of you for the blessings for her. Each one of them matter.”

Of late, there has been a lot of activity on Gandhi’s Twitter account, where he mostly takes potshots at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP with his one-liner satirical messages.
