Kancha took a jibe at the motor mouth Assamese BJP leader for his ridiculous insinuation that the #red book @RahulGandhi carries is a #Chinese constitution.
He pointed out the illogicality of associating anything red with #China, like tagging Sikhs with their red turbans as Chinese. This was a subtle yet effective rebuttal that highlighted the CM’s cheap rhetoric and lack of substance.
Getting the large audience, including #Rahul, to laugh at the funny rebuttal undermined the seriousness of the allegations.
It ridiculed the CM and BJP’s pet narrative of branding the opposition as anti-national in a light-hearted manner.
Rahul’s joining in the laughter endorsed Kancha’s spin that gave confidence to others present.
Ofcourse, it boosted the momentum of the conference by exposing irrational propaganda in an entertaining way. Kancha’s signature style of critique through humour added levity to an otherwise serious discussion on safeguarding democracy and Constitution.
So in sum, the repartee was a crowd-pleasing highlight that stole the show at the conference.
