The woman has presented a Will in the Dehradun court and said that she is deeply influenced by the thoughts of Rahul Gandhi.

Dehradun: Pushpa Munjiyal (79), a resident of Dalanwala, Nehru Colony, Dehradun, has requested the court to make Congress MP Rahul Gandhi as heir of her property. The woman has presented a Will in the Dehradun court and said that she is deeply influenced by the thoughts of Rahul Gandhi. ETV Bharat spoke to Pushpa who told that she has four sisters in Dehradun, but they do not share any relationship. Pushpa accentuated that she had a brother, who died due to cancer a few years back.

Pushpa said that she has given the full details of her property in court, and requested the court to hand over the ownership of her entire property to Rahul Gandhi after her death. She included a fixed deposit of Rs 50 lakhs and 10 grams of gold. She added that Rahul Gandhi's family has supremely sacrificed for the country since its Independence.

Pushpa is unmarried and lives in Prem Dham Old Age Ashram on Nehru Road, Dehradun since the death of her parents. She added that she did not get married as her goal was social service. Initially, Pushpa was a teacher at Guru Nanak Inter College, Khudbuda and got retired in 1999. After retirement, she donated a fixed deposit of rupees 25 lakh to Doon Hospital in 2011.

Pushpa had put a condition in front of the hospital that they would not spend the original amount and the annual interest earned from the deposit will help the patients. The deposit had an annual interest of rupees 1.5 lakh to one lakh 80 thousand which continues to meet the demand of the hospital even today.

Speaking on the matter, Congress Metropolitan President Lalchand Sharma said that a testament of her property in the name of Rahul Gandhi has been handed over to former state president Pritam Singh at his residence in Yamuna Colony.

Meanwhile, Rahul's maternal grandfather, Jawaharlal Nehru was the first Prime Minister of India while his grandmother Indira Gandhi was also the Prime Minister of India following which Rahul's father Rajiv Gandhi became the Prime Minister of India. Sonia Gandhi, his mother, is currently the working president of Congress and his sister Priyanka is Congress General Secretary in charge of Uttar Pradesh.
