Last year too, social media was abuzz over reports relating to Gandhi's marriage, which made headlines after Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Subramanian Swamy tweeted that the event was being planned keeping in mind the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls in 2017.

Taking to the micro-blogging website, Swamy had said, "Heard from "Sources": for UP election 'Buddhu' may marry a UP Brahmin girl soon. One more desperate stunt? (sic)."
