Malda follows Tripura’s lead, bans Bangladeshis from hotels amid growing border tensions
Rahul Gandhi and Varun Gandhi had a brief and cordial encounter outside Kedarnath Temple, where the cousins exchanged pleasantries. Rahul Gandhi was concluding his visit, while Varun Gandhi, accompanied by his family, arrived at the shrine on Tuesday. The short yet warm meeting included a special moment where Rahul Gandhi expressed his happiness upon meeting Varun's daughter, Anusuiya, according to reports. Although this meeting has led to political speculations concerning the upcoming general elections, those present at the encounter confirmed that it remained devoid of any political discussions.
Badrinath Kedarnath Temple Committee President, Ajendra Ajay, disclosed that Varun Gandhi arrived in the morning for darshan at Kedarnath Dham, while Rahul Gandhi had been at the location for the past three days. Rahul Gandhi briefly met Varun Gandhi before his departure. Earlier this year, when Rahul Gandhi was on his 'Bharat Jodo Yatra,' he addressed questions about Varun Gandhi's political alignment and stated that they had different ideologies.
Although they can have affectionate family meetings, their political beliefs do not align, and Rahul Gandhi emphasized that he could not accept Varun's ideology. Varun Gandhi is ten years younger than Rahul Gandhi, and in 2011, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi did not attend Varun Gandhi's wedding.
