Wedding bells are all set to ring for young Indian politician Varun Gandhi who is set to tie the knot with a Bengali girl Yamini.
Varun’s mother and BJP lawmaker, Maneka Gandhi, said on Sunday the 30-year-old leader, also of BJP, will get married this year.
Varun is the cousin of Rahul Gandhi, the scion of India’s Nehru-Gandhi family and is tipped by many to be the country’s future prime minister.
“Varun will get married with Yamini, who hails from Bengal, this year,” Maneka, the estranged daughter-in-law of late Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi, told reporters in Badaun in Uttar Pradesh.
“All members of the Gandhi family, including Sonia Gandhi and Rahul, will be invited to attend the wedding ceremony,” Maneka replied to a question.
Varun had attended the marriage of his cousin Priyanka in 1997 as a teenager despite strained ties between the families and Maneka staying away.
Varun represents Pilibhit Lok Sabha constituency in Uttar Pradesh, home to the Nehru-Gandhi family, and was appointed natisonal secretary by BJP in March. Maneka is also a member of Lok Sabha from Aonla in Uttar Pradesh.
