Rahul Gandhi had appealed to the youth and Gen-Z to ask questions on social media.
Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi answered questions from youth during his ‘Ask Me Anything’ (AMA) session on Instagram on Thursday night. During this, he also answered several interesting questions.
During the live session, he answered questions about politics as well as personal preferences, his mother Sonia Gandhi’s pet dog ‘Noorie’, Jharkhand student movement, pets, and humorous questions.
The session covered many issues including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, favorite BJP leader, ideologies affecting the Constitution, among others.
No one has seen me and Batman together
A user asked Rahul Gandhi – Are you Batman? To this, Rahul Gandhi replied with a smile – Just understand this much that no one has ever seen me and Batman together in the same room. People reacted to this answer as well.
Before the session, Rahul Gandhi had appealed to the youth and Gen-G to ask questions on social media.
The PM’s videos that came at midnight were the best
Taking a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said, “The videos that came from the PM House at midnight were the best. They showed a new, nervous Prime Minister.”
When asked which BJP leader he liked the most, Rahul named former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh.
“I get along well with him. He’s very nice and an expert on military history. Hello, Uncle Amarinder,” he said.
Pet dog ‘Noori’ was also shown in the live session.
Pet dog ‘Noorie’ was also shown in the session
Rahul Gandhi also showed his mother Sonia Gandhi’s pet dog ‘Noorie’ on camera during the AMA session.
On this matter, a user asked him what is the best thing about being a dog parent? In response to this, he said – I am not a dog parent myself, but I believe that animals live on this earth with us, we are not their owners. They should receive respect, love and affection.
After this, he introduced Noorie in a humorous manner saying that it is his mother’s dog and his mother might even get upset with him for showing it in the video.
Students have been protesting since July 25 against irregularities in PSC and other recruitment examinations in Jharkhand.
Rahul Gandhi says governments must listen to students
Responding to a question about the student protests in Jharkhand, Rahul Gandhi said governments must listen to young people rather than ignore their concerns.
He said students’ grievances deserved to be taken seriously and called on governments to address their issues with sincerity.
The interaction comes as Rahul has stepped up his outreach to students and young voters. In recent weeks, he met students protesting the NEET paper leak and has regularly engaged with them through social media.
Several other political leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, have also intensified their use of social media platforms to connect with younger audiences.
