A hug and a wink at Rahul Gandhi's Friday show

With a hug and a wink, Congressman Rahul Gandhi entered the territory of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, turning the debate on the no-confidence motion into a political blockbuster on Friday's television screens. For a moment, the Prime Minister seemed surprised before recovering from Gandhi's bear hug in a house that was until then the unchallenged stage of Modi and where Gandhi n & # 39; 39, was known only to score personal goals. The overwhelming opinion was that Gandhi was taking out a sheet of Modi's book.

Politicians plan their actions, but what stands out in Gandhi's case is his almost perfect performance on a Prime Minister who has embraced many Presidents and Prime Ministers. The Congress and other Opposition camps were jubilant, even as the BJP camps exuded mixed feelings.

Before crossing the well to the Prime Minister's headquarters, Gandhi concluded his speech in style. Looking at the prime minister, he says, "You can mistreat me, you can call me Pappu, but I do not have a grain of hate against you … You can think, I've a lot of hatred for the BJP and Prime Minister Modi But the truth is, I am grateful to them.The BJP, the RSS and PM Modi m have helped to understand what it means to be in Congress, what it means to be a Indian, what it means to be a Hindu and a Shiv Bhakt, I'll take that hate from you and turn it into love, I'm Congress. "

Then came the hug. Sitting next to Modi, Interior Minister Rajnath Singh cut off his smile. LK Advani tried to keep an impassive face, half covered by the hand. BJP ministers and MPs who stood in the corridors seemed perplexed, even though the opposition benches applauded. The PM is recovering soon, to remind Gandhi and caress him on the back, while managing to smile.

The act of Gandhi was reminiscent of his act of "ripping" at a press conference during the days of the UPA. While this boomerang on him and the regime Manmohan Singh, his Friday show corresponded to Modi's dramatic actions – like touching the stages of Parliament with his front, after his victory in 2014, and crying after being elected Prime Minister – who have captivated Parliament. Gandhi, on the other hand, was accused of napping in the House, questioned for absenteeism and perverted when he tried to highlight the work of Kalavati, a widow in Vidarbha, during the vote of confidence in 2008.

That Gandhi had come prepared on Friday was evident from his unusual "punch": "The Prime Minister smiles but there is a hint of nervousness. He looks away and can not look into my eyes. The Prime Minister can not be honest, I understand, "he said, triggering laughter." The difference between us and PM and Amit Shah is that we are ready to lose power. The president of the PM and the BJP can not afford to lose power, because when they do, other processes will start against them. The president of the PM and the BJP act out of fear, which hurts the nation. "

Continuing to titillate his opponents, Gandhi said, "Even the BJP deputies, including a leader of Akali Dal, have admired my speech.The United Opposition and some on your side will defeat Modiji. "

Rahul Gandhi's image recovery began with his release from the University of California at Berkeley, followed by impressive campaigns in Gujarat and Karnataka.
