Sonia Gandhi's Dance Video With Women Farmers Goes Viral

A video of former Congress chief Sonia Gandhi dancing with women has gone viral.

In the viral clip, Gandhi is seen with women farmers from Haryana. They are the same woman who had an interaction with Rahul Gandhi during his visit to paddy fields in Madina village of Haryana Sonepat on July 8.

Congress leader Ruchira Chaturvedi shared the clip of their interaction and lunch with Sonia Gandhi on Twitter.

She wrote, "Women farmers from Haryana had expressed their desire to @RahulGandhi to see Delhi and his house. He told them that the Govt has taken away his house. But just see what happened next. This video is pure joy!"

The clip has garnered close to 1.25 lakh likes in a matter of hours.

Earlier, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said farmers are India's strength and many problems of the country could be solved "if we listen to them and understand their point of view".

The about 12-minute YouTube video shows him having a conversation with farmers and their families, ploughing the fields, planting paddy saplings and later breaking bread with the farmers on a string cot.

"Farmers are the strength of India," he tweeted in Hindi, sharing a short clip from the video. "In Sonepat, Haryana, I met two farmers - Sanjay Malik and Tasbir Kumar. They are childhood best friends and have been farming together for many years." "Together with them, we helped in the fields, sowed paddy, drove a tractor, and discussed many things. The women farmers of the village gave us love and respect like their own family members, and brought homemade food.

The Congress also said on Twitter, "Farmers have a huge contribution in uniting India - the grains they produce are part of every plate of the country, but their 'tapasya' does not get the respect it deserve".
