‘Priyanka ji, How Are You?’: PM Modi’s Warm Greetings to Cong MP, Friendly Banter with Kharge Win Praise Online

New Delhi: A light-hearted exchange between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and senior Congress leaders at the wedding reception of NCP leader Supriya Sule’s daughter has drawn widespread attention, offering a rare glimpse of warmth amid political rivalries.

A video circulating online captures PM Modi greeting Priyanka Gandhi Vadra with a simple “How are you?” She replies, “I am fine. How are you?” The Prime Minister responds, “I’m still the same.” Standing nearby with Rahul Gandhi, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge interjected with a smile: “Bhai Sahab, you’ve changed a little.” PM Modi laughed at this and asked, “Accha?” and affectionately patted Kharge on the back.

The brief, good-natured conversation unfolded at the Delhi reception, which saw political leaders from across party lines come together. Besides the Congress trio and the Prime Minister, the gathering included Union Home Minister Amit Shah, NCP leader Rohit Pawar, Sonia Gandhi, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and others. Guests were seen mingling freely, setting aside ideological differences for the evening’s celebrations.

The cordial interaction has been widely shared and appreciated online. Many users noted that the exchange challenges the common perception of unrelenting hostility between political opponents, highlighting that parliamentary colleagues can still share moments of civility and humour even while holding sharply differing views.

The episode has been described by observers as a reminder that personal courtesy and institutional camaraderie can coexist with political contestation.
