Sodhi is said to be eyeing ticket from Ferozepur Lok Sabha constituency. The other likely contender is senior Congress leader Jagmeet Singh Brar. 8220;I have submitted the memorandum to Rahul and demanded that the area should be properly represented to usher in an era of development,8221; said Sodhi.

From Hussainiwala, Rahul Gandhi went to Dev Samaj College for Women, Ferozepur, to attend a seminar on female foeticide. On the occasion, Rahul answered different queries of students. Terming female foeticide as a curse, Rahul dwelt upon the need to spread awareness.

Answering a query of a student as to why he was not getting married, Rahul said he was busy serving the country, and was not getting time for it.

To another query on corruption, Rahul said entry of youngsters in politics could go a long way in checking the menace. He termed infrastructure, democratic set-up and education as the three mainstays for leading country on the path of progress.
