So while on one of his usual trips, Rahul Gandhi happened to address the students of Mount Carmel college in Bangalore this week. Here's how the conversation went:
Rahul: "Is Swacch Bharat Abhiyaan working?"
Students: "Yes (unanimously)"
Rahul: (Shrugs and smiles) "Okay, I don't see Swacch Bharat working."
Rahul: "Let's ask another question. Do you think Make in India is working?"
Students: "Yes." (Most of them shouted back)
Watch this video to see the complete interaction:
So while the Twitter was abuzz with #RahulStumped and how the Congress vice-president was left red-faced with the answers he got from the crowd, he got an 'admirer' who tried to bring out the better aspects of his speech.
Facebook user Elixir Nahar wrote an open letter citing few excerpts. She write, "He spoke about societal norms: What is ‘pretty’, what is ‘skinny’, how irrelevant these terms are to him, and why women are so important in his life - his grandmother, mother, and sister. He was humourous, and he struck a chord with the audience right from the start, before jumping into the nitty gritty."
She also complimented the Gandhi scion's emphasis on "starting a conversation" and said that it was a winner with the audience. Here's her letter.
