Sonia, Rahul avoid small talk with PM

November 26, 2015 16:09

Early bird catches the PM's eye and veterans that they are in Parliament, Sonia and Rahul Gandhi decided to walk in a little after 11 am. This meant they could avoid being greeted by the PM, who always makes it a point to greet MPs before taking his seat. The prime minister walks across to the opposition benches a few minutes before the Lok Sabha is called to order and before the arrival of the Speaker. He chats with MPs in the Opposition benches for a couple of minutes and then takes his seat.

So, Sonia Gandhi arrived in Lok Sabha and went to the back benches, while Rahul Gandhi entered the house at 11:15 am, walked past Sonia without noticing that she was seated in the back benches.
