Sarcasm, sharp wit, humour and precision. In an aspect of Rahul Gandhi rarely seen, the Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition turned the concluding session of the Rachnatmak Congress into a lively, interactive and deeply political conversation.
It was a masterclass in political communication — part political critique, part theatre and part audience engagement.
Gandhi mixed humour with pointed attacks on the BJP and the RSS, while drawing the audience into his arguments in a manner that was both unconventional and disarming.
Few could have imagined this version of Gandhi a few months ago. But the Gen Z-led protests and the growing public support around them appear to have changed the political atmosphere — and Gandhi’s own style of engagement with it.
