The meeting was held at a luncheon organised by Sonia Gandhi at her residence. Rahul shared the glimpse of the meeting on social media.

“A day to remember for Maa, Priyanka and me with some very special guests! Delhi darshan of Sonipat's farmer sisters, dinner with them at home, and lots of fun things to do. Got priceless gifts together - desi ghee, sweet lassi, homemade pickles and lots of love,” he said sharing a montage from the meet-up.

The Congress leader had earlier visited in Haryana's Sonipat during his flagship Bharat Jodo Yatra, where he promised a group of women farmers to arrange a Delhi darshan for them and a lunch at his house.

"Rahul Gandhi had promised to take the farmer sisters of Sonipat to Delhi. Farmer sisters came to Delhi, the promise was fulfilled," the Congress said on Twitter.

In other portion of the clip, Priyanka Gandhi was heard saying ‘Rahul was naughtier than her, but she got the scolding instead’.
