The changing times have changed Rahul, too. His political thinking and language has changed, too. A few days ago, Rahul was walking down the central hall with young BJP leader Kamlesh Paswan of Basgaon village of UP, when state minister RPN Singh called out to Rahul from behind saying, “Sir, have you seen the UP paper…” Rahul ignored it and kept walking and the minister hurried up to walk alongside Rahul and repeated the question. Rahul gave the Congressman a piercing look and said, “When I’ve read it, I’ll let you know.” Only until very recently, Rahul could be seen talking to his party members jovially. Something has happened for him to change tack.
