'Aa dekhe zara': Jyotiraditya Scindia's tweet with Rahul, Priyanka

February 11, 2019 17:10

Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia tweeted the photographic equivalent of the archetypical slow-motion shot of protagonists making an entrance in movies, as he shared a picture of Congress chief Rahul Gandhi, his sister Priyanka and himself on Monday.

Accompanying the picture was an appropriately filmy line: "Aa dekhen zara, kisme kitna hai dum / jam ke rakhna kadam mere sathiya (Come on, let's see who has more courage / Keep a firm foot forward, my companion - a song from the 1981 Hindi movie Rocky)

The picture was from the roadshow in Lucknow by Scindia along with Congress chief Rahul Gandhi and his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.

Marking her political debut ahead of Lok Sabha polls, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi arrived at the Lucknow airport Monday afternoon to an emphatic reception by party leaders and workers.

A beaming Priyanka Gandhi, who has been given charge of the eastern half of the Uttar Pradesh, and Scindia, who is in charge of the western half, and Rahul Gandhi waved at a sea of supporters lining their way from the airport to the Congress headquarters.
