In Pics: Rahul Gandhi surprises serial hugger PM Modi with 'jaadu ki jhappi'

Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Friday broke the internet when he walked across the aisle to hug the Prime Minister.

After the hug, the Congress president winked at the entire treasury benches before and said to Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan, "You'll love what comes next."

DNA has learnt that Rahul Gandhi was supposed to speak only on Rafale deal and defence scams, but the 38 minute time constraint meant only he'll speak from Congress.

When the Lok Sabha resumed after brief break, Gandhi continued his attack and said opponents may hate him, call him "Pappu" but he has no anger, hatred against PM, BJP. Gandhi says he is thankful to BJP for teaching him what it means to be a Congressman, an Indian and a Hindu.

While the blistering attack proves that the Congress President is ready for 2019 battle, it was the hug that completely stunned the BJP. It would be interesting to see how the NDA govt plans to reciprocate to this embrace.

Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today called for a disruption-free and constructive debate in the House."Today is an important day in our Parliamentary democracy. I am sure my fellow MP colleagues will rise to the occasion and ensure a constructive, comprehensive & disruption free debate," he tweeted"India will be watching us closely," said PM Modi.
