Varun Gandhi: wedding bells in December

Mother-in-law-to-be Maneka, the BJP MP from Aonla in western Uttar Pradesh, let the cat out of the bag when she went trousseau shopping for her son’s bride in Varanasi, looking for Banarasi saris. She left after placing an order for saris to be specially made as the loud colors available did not appeal to her, sources informed DNA.

Will Varun’s aunt Sonia Gandhi attend the nuptials along with his cousins Rahul and Priyanka? Varun is known to have maintained close ties with the Gandhi family and political watchers are optimistic that the happy occasion will prove an opportunity for the estranged bahus (daughters-in-law) of the Nehru-Gandhi clan to mend fences.
