As the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, visited the iconic Ghantewala sweet shop in Old Delhi on the occasion of Diwali, the shop owner Sushant Jain requested the Congress MP to get married soon so that he can bag the wedding’s mithai order.

On the occassion of Diwali, Rahul Gandhi stopped by the historic sweet shop to buy sweets for his family and friends. He later shared a video of him trying his hands at making ‘imarti’ and ‘besan laddoo’ at the famous shop.

Speaking to news agency ANI, Jain called Rahul Gandhi India’s “most eligible bachelor" and revealed that his shop has been serving sweets to the Gandhi family since ages.

“All of India is talking about him being the most eligible bachelor. I said, Rahul ji, please get married soon — we’re waiting, so that we can get the order for your wedding sweets too," Jain was quoted as saying.

The Ghantewala sweet shop owner further stated stated that he would himself make mithai for Rahul Gandhi’s wedding and in fact will taste them too. He further stated that Rajiv ji too liked imarti.

“Late Rajiv ji, really liked imarti, so I said, sir, you should try that. So he made imarti. He really likes besan laddus too, so I said, sir, you can make those as well. So he made these two items," the shop owner added.

Rahul Gandhi also posted the video of his shop visit on X and said the true sweetness of Diwali lies not just in the ‘thali’, but also in relationships and community. “Tried my hand at making imarti and besan laddoo at the famous and historic Ghantewala sweet shop in old Delhi."

“The sweetness of this centuries-old, iconic shop remains the same – pure, traditional, and heartwarming," the Leader of Opposition said.

In another post on X, Gandhi extended greetings to the people of the country on the auspicious occasion of Diwali. “May India be illuminated with the lamps of joy, may the light of happiness, prosperity, and love spread in every home," he wrote.
