Rahul Gandhi's recent speeches and interactions have marked a significant transformation in his political persona. In the 18th Lok Sabha, Gandhi delivered a powerful speech drawing parallels between the Mahabharata and contemporary Indian politics, highlighting the Modi government's alleged promotion of 'hate politics'. This newfound confidence is attributed to extensive grassroots campaigns and the Opposition alliance's strength following the 2024 elections. During a visit to Srinagar, he candidly addressed questions from female students about his marriage plans, emphasizing his ability to withstand societal pressure for decades. His interactions have garnered significant social media attention, showcasing a more relatable and engaged side of the Congress leader.
