Rahul Gandhi, who is on a 10-day trip to the United States, received a painting of his mother Sonia Gandhi as a gift from an artist, who was identified as Sarita Pandey.

Sharing the experience of meeting him and giving him the painting on her Twitter feed, Pandey wrote that Gandhi told her he would pass on the painting to her mother.

"Gifted @RahulGandhi a super-quick charcoal + watercolor painting of Sonia Gandhi Ji when he was visiting Washington, DC, last week. As I handed it to him, I said, “From one mother to another,” and he said he will pass it to her. I hope he does," she wrote on Twitter.

"Sure he will. Rahul Gandhi is known for keeping promises. Good painting too. Well done," a third user wrote.
