Rahul Gandhi Mocks Adani and Modi in a Hilarious Mock Interview
Rahul Gandhi Mocks Adani and Modi in a Hilarious Mock Interview Outside Parliament
In a bold move that captured attention across political circles, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi led a protest outside Parliament on Monday, using humor to criticize the BJP-led NDA government, specifically targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and billionaire Gautam Adani.
The Mock Interview
The protest took an interesting turn when two opposition MPs impersonated Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Gautam Adani, wearing masks and answering questions posed by Rahul Gandhi in a mock interview. This light-hearted yet pointed demonstration aimed at highlighting the ongoing controversy surrounding the Adani Group and its ties with the Modi government.
As the interview began, Rahul Gandhi asked a question to the MP wearing the Adani mask, who humorously responded by pointing to the MP dressed as Modi and saying, “Whatever I say, he does.” This exchange set the tone for the playful nature of the mock interview, with the duo creating a comical and exaggerated portrayal of the political relationship between the two figures.
When asked to describe their “partnership,” the MPs responded with a laugh, saying, “We do everything together. We’ve had a partnership for years.” This remark, though light-hearted, reinforced the opposition’s claims of close ties between the Modi government and Adani, fueling the ongoing political discourse.
Poking Fun at Parliament Disruptions
As the conversation continued, Rahul Gandhi raised the issue of the Parliament being stalled repeatedly due to opposition demands for a discussion on the US allegations about Adani’s involvement in bribery. When asked why Parliament proceedings were being disrupted, the MPs responded by saying, “He is missing today. Amit Bhai (Union minister Amit Shah) did not come to the House today,” adding a humorous touch to their mock interview.
At one point, Rahul Gandhi asked the MP impersonating Adani why Prime Minister Modi had been speaking less in Parliament. The response, “Kuch tension hai” (There is some tension), sparked laughter among the participants and onlookers, turning the serious matter into a light-hearted moment of comedy.
The Photo Post of Adani and Modi
Later, Rahul Gandhi shared a photo from the mock interview on X (formerly Twitter), captioning it with, “This is a special and long-standing relationship!” His playful jab at the relationship between Modi and Adani quickly went viral, adding further fuel to the opposition’s demand for accountability regarding the Adani issue.
Political Context and Parliamentary Disruptions
The protest occurred amidst ongoing disruptions in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha during the winter session. The opposition has been pressing for a discussion on the US bribery allegations against Adani, leading to repeated adjournments in the Parliament.
Despite the humor and light-hearted nature of the mock interview, the protest underscored the serious concerns surrounding the Adani controversy. The opposition has been vocal in calling for transparency and accountability from both the Modi government and the Adani Group.
Absentees at the Protest
It is worth noting that significant political parties like the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and Samajwadi Party (SP) were absent from the protest. NCP-SP MP Supriya Sule, too, was not present, highlighting the fragmented nature of opposition politics at the moment.
Rahul Gandhi’s mock interview outside Parliament may have been comical, but it also brought attention to an issue that has dominated political discussions in India for months. The protest served as a reminder of the opposition’s commitment to holding the Modi government accountable over its relationship with Adani. As the winter session continues, it remains to seen how the government will respond to these calls for a discussion on the Adani issue.
