Monsoon Session: PM Modi’s simplicity vs Rahul’s VIP culture; Twitter abuzz with reactions

New Delhi: If you have been wondering why Prime Minister Narendra Modi makes instant connect with the countrymen transcending all age groups, this video from the Parliament’s Monsoon session will help you fathom the truth.

The first day of Monsoon Session began in Delhi today while the city witnessed rains since morning. Lawmakers reached the Parliament amid the downpour.

But, the striking images and visuals of PM Modi and Rahul Gandhi is something that puts them miles apart. In the video, PM Modi could be seen carrying his own umbrella while Rahul Gandhi has an assistant holding the umbrella and escorting him to the building.

Here is how netizens lauded Modi’s simplicity:

This simplicity of Prime Minister is winning hearts and is evident from people’s reaction on Twitter while Rahul’s VIP treatment is being questioned by many. Many called out feudal & dynastic culture of Congress while dubbed PM’s conduct as refreshing.

Current Prime Minister of India and the PM in waiting.

PM and Ministers carrying their own umbrellas – it’s a very small gesture if you see it in isolation – but in a country where VVIP culture has been so prevalent in all spheres, it sends a very strong message of equality & accountability. https://t.co/sfcm9lHQ8y

I have hardly seen any PM holding his own umbrella. This shows many facets of a leader. https://t.co/MViNxBvRss
