Lekhi's comment comes hours after Congress President took to Twitter and informed about his visit to his 93-year-old grandmother in Italy during the Holi weekend.

Rahul took to Twitter and said, "My Nani is 93. She's the kindest soul ever. This Holi weekend, I'm going to surprise her! I can't wait to give her a hug.... #HappyHoli to all of you. Have a joyful celebration.."
