DEHRADUN: A retired government school teacher in Dehradun, Pushpa Munjiyal, willed all her property, worth about Rs 50 lakh, to Congress member Rahul Gandhi. This includes 16 FDs worth Rs 18.3 lakh and 10 tola gold worth Rs 5.6 lakh (as of Monday’s rate). She said she took the decision considering the “sacrifices made by the members of the Nehru-Gandhi family for India”.
Munjiyal (79), who is unmarried, handed over her will to ex-state Congress chief Pritam Singh at his residence on Monday. She had earlier presented her will at a local court in presence of witnesses on March 9. “I’m deeply influenced by the thoughts and policies of Rahul. I’m hopeful that he would use my property for the welfare of the poor. If he doesn’t, I don’t have any problem with it,” she said.
