NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his recent meeting with the Kapoor family, asking him to address “real issues”.
Rahul Gandhi posted a video on Instagram titled “cut, cut, cut”, showing his interaction with PSU workers discussing their concerns, contrasting it with the Prime Minister’s interaction with the Kapoor family.
“Focus on real issues,” Rahul said in the post.
On Thursday, Congress MP Manickam Tagore criticised finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman for endorsing Prime Minister Modi’s interaction with the Kapoor family, highlighting the disparity in treatment when Rahul Gandhi meets bank officers.
“Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman likes a chat of Prime Minister Narendra Modi with a cinema family, but when leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi engages with bank officers, it’s a problem. Priorities of a minister in the Modi government: reel life > real issues,” Tagore stated on X, sharing a video of PM Modi’s meeting the Kapoor family.
The Kapoor family, including Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Karisma Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, and Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, visited Prime Minister Modi in Delhi before the upcoming Raj Kapoor 100 Film Festival.
During the brief encounter, PM Modi expressed his appreciation for Raj Kapoor’s enduring contribution to Indian cinema and discussed the significance of films in their time. He shared an anecdote involving senior leader LK Advani and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
