Handing over my son, he won’t disappoint you, Sonia Gandhi in emotional appeal in Rae Bareli rally

Congress leader Sonia Gandhi on Friday said she is handing over her son Rahul Gandhi to the people of Rae Bareli and added that they will not be disappointed with him. “I am handing over my son to you. Rahul will not disappoint you,” said Ms. Gandhi, addressing a public meeting at ITI ground in Rae Bareli.

Expressing gratitude to the people of Rae Bareli for giving her an opportunity to serve them as a Lok Sabha member for 20 years, the Rajya Sabha member said: “Everything I got is due to your love and support. So, brothers and sisters, I am giving you, my son. You consider him yours.”

The former Congress president, who addressed the gathering with her son Mr. Gandhi and daughter Priyanka Gandhi Vadra standing by her side, remembered her mother-in-law and former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, while adding that both her children will follow the same teachings taught to her by the late PM.
