Rahul Gandhi had a light-hearted moment on X (formerly Twitter) as he had a banter with his mutual fund distributor who shared a rather long post on how the Congress leader has been working with him professionally despite being aware of his support for the BJP.
The fund distributor, by the name Muthukrishnan Dhandapani on X, heaped praise on the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, saying that while he supported the BJP from 2014 to 2024, it has never come in his way of working for Rahul, saying that every conversation with him has been filled with respect and that the Congress leader ‘never behaved in any haughty manner.’
“We have exchanged many mails and has spoken over phone lot of times. And as you are aware, I’ve been a strong Modi supporter from 2014 to 2024. Never once Rahul or his office staff brought that subject to me. I believe my tweets are regularly seen by his staff. They clearly differentiate between my professional service and political beliefs. And in every single conversation I’ve with Rahul, he addresses me with respect and never behaved in any haughty manner,” Dhandapani said in a long post on X.
“I do not know Rahul Gandhi as a politician. Based on last 14 years interaction, all I can say is he respect professionals a lot and a nice human being to interact with.
Don’t go by media or IT cells – for any party, Dhandapani added.
Rahul kept his response to Dhandapani’s long praise brief but quirky. “Muthu ji, your political views are your own – but please do speed up the returns on my investments,” he wrote.
Rahul’s response to the post took Dhandapani by surprise, who commented on the X post saying, “Pleasantly surprised with your response.”
“Never expected him to look at my tweet and respond. First time,” he wrote in next post.
Rahul Gandhi was in Chennai on Sunday where he stood next to TVK chief Vijay as he took charge as the new chief minister of Tamil Nadu. The Congress played a crucial role to ensure that TVK formed a government in the state by providing support of its five MLAs. Smaller parties like the CPI, CPI(M), VCK and IUML followed the suite and extended support to Vijay-led party.
