Nearly three years after Rahul Gandhi stepped into the muddy fields of Madina village in Haryana’s Sonipat to join a local farmer, Sanjay Malik, in sowing paddy, the Congress leader  returned to the village to attend his daughter’s wedding, much to the delight of the local community.

Gandhi had promised to stand by Malik and his family through every joy and sorrow, and today, the “Jannayak” became a part of their family’s happiness, the Congress said on X.

According to the Congress, Gandhi first met Malik during an impromptu stop at Madina village in July 2023 while on a trip to Shimla, and listened to the struggles faced by the farming families while working in the fields alongside him.

According to PTI, , the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha reached the village in the morning, where he was received by the party’s Rohtak MP, Deepender Singh Hooda, and other leaders, before proceeding to attend the wedding of Tanu, Malik’s daughter.

The family had earlier invited Gandhi for the ceremony, party sources said.

Dressed in a white T-shirt and green trousers, Gandhi savoured traditional Haryanvi dishes, including ‘churma’, a glass of milk and Gohana’s famous ‘jalebis’.

He also interacted with Malik’s family members and villagers, who tied a turban on him as a mark of respect.

“Leader of the Opposition, Rahul Gandhi, attended the wedding ceremony of the daughter of farmer Sanjay Malik in Sonipat,” the Congress said in a post on X in Hindi.

“Jannayak (people’s leader) Rahul Gandhi first met Sanjay ji in 2023. He worked alongside him in the fields and listened to the stories of the struggles faced by the farming families,” it said, sharing images of the Congress leader’s visit
