New Delhi: Congress chief Rahul Gandhi had an unusual admirer. A 107-year-old woman in Bangalore found Rahul "handsome" and wished to meet him. Gandhi obliged by calling her up and wishing the centenarian on her birthday.
In a tweet, Bangalore-based Dipali Sikand wrote that her grandmother, who turned 107 on Monday, had a wish to meet Rahul Gandhi, whom she found as "handsome".

Off late, Rahul's social media has been in news for mostly good reasons. The Congress chief's tweet about his dog Pidi, which was also a veiled attack on Rahul's detractors, grabbed several eyeballs. Rahul has 5.22 million followers on Twitter.
