Rahul with witty answers...
On Sunday during a press conference a journalists in Haryana questioned Rahul Gandhi about how he thinks his image has changed due to the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
To this he replies "Rahul Gandhi is in your mind. I have killed him. He is not there. Not in my mind at all. He's long gone. The person you are seeing right now is not Rahul Gandhi, only you are seeing him." He also emphasizes that this Yatra is not about him and that he has killed the Rahul everyone knew, therefore not bothered about his image.
His remark and careful use of wordplay left the journalists quite confused and surprised during the press conference. The Congress leader, who is leading the multi-state Bharat Jodo Yatra, alluded that he has long shed the image of Rahul Gandhi and it only exists in the mind of BJP but not his.
Quizzing the reporter if he understood the question Rahul says “You don't understand it...Read Hindu scriptures. Read about Shiv-ji (Lord Shiva), you will understand. Don't be shocked. Rahul Gandhi is in your head, not mine. He is in the BJP's head, not mine.”
He further went on saying that he is not bothered about his image and while addressing the journalist he said "I am not interested in my image. Good or bad, project whatever image you want, it is up to you. It doesn't matter to me. I am focused on my work.”
