A Twitter Thread Claims That Rahul Gandhi’s PR Is Ctrl+C Of Justin Trudeau’s And There’s Proof

Believe it or not, Rahul Gandhi always finds ways to stay in the headlines. Be it the four walls of parliament or the bylanes of the internet, the Congress vice-president enjoys quite a knack when it comes to going viral.

I mean, remember when he introduced us all to his Twitter-partner-cum-pet, Pidi? Or when pictures of him throwing kicks and punches surfaced online? The hat probably goes to his PR team who have ensured the afore-mentioned in more ways than one. But what if I tell you it is inspired? Or worse, lifted? No, I’m not one to throw shade but a Twitter user has compiled a thread that will make question the same.

That’s right. A certain @Pun_Starr has taken the liberty of drawing striking similarities between the news timeline of Rahul Gandhi and Justin Trudeau and it is uncanny, to say the least. 

See for yourself. 

1. The hypothesis being…

Decoding RG's PR strategy:

Clearly, the objective of RG's PR strategy is to model him after Canadian PM Justin Trudeau. 1/n

2. Remember this?

Not so long ago, Justin Trudeau surprised a room full of journalists & scientists by nailing a short explanation of quantum computing. 2/ pic.twitter.com/KLI2QJgQne

3. Because I certainly remember this.

There were rumours, that RG will speak on AI. I think that may have been the original plan, but dropped later for obvious reasons. 3/ pic.twitter.com/YJCdTvisbr

4. Oh, that’s one of the reasons we love him so much.

Canadian PM is into mixed martial arts, judo & boxing. He even boxed in a charity boxing match as PM. 4/ pic.twitter.com/Ghpz2FcpJm

5. Motive much?

Suddenly we are told (with pics for proof) that RG is a black belt in Aikido, and also a runner, swimmer & gyms. Fit like Trudeau? 5/ pic.twitter.com/sie3p1KZ5d

6. Being Pet-friendly won Justin a lot of hearts. And then Pidi Gandhi makes a debut.

Feb'16, Trudeau family introduced their dog to the world. Explains, RGs Pidi video. Apparently, cute pet owners are seen good souls. 6/ pic.twitter.com/dBCAkW36Tt

7. A heart of gold, right?

Every now & then the media reports a random act of kindness by Canadian PM. Like this one, where he sat on the Parliament steps. 7/ pic.twitter.com/ZiN3fR9g5h

8. Adorable is an understatement.

Or this act, before he became PM, where he carried a man in a wheelchair at Montreal Metro 8/ pic.twitter.com/gQ2ElHClUN

9. Can you connect the dots?

Years after Nirbhaya case, we are told that RG has been helping Jyoti Singh's brother, even to the extent of mentoring him, & pep talking 9/ pic.twitter.com/i8FK7382sW

10. Hence proved.

Brace yourselves for more comments on social media like this one, (Keep in mind tweet 5 above) to push the "fit like Trudeau" image. 10/ pic.twitter.com/Tx3atT3wDJ

I don’t know about you but this puts a lot of things into perspective. Well, at least it’s a tried and tested formula. And we can all use a little love, phir yeh toh Rahul Gandhi hain!
