Rahul Gandhi, Gautam Adani Finally Shake Hands At Pawar Bash, Don’t Ask For Proof

It is well known that those in business don’t like to sweat on the small stuff. And will certainly not waste time trying to huddle with politicians. Guess industrialist Gautam Adani must also be valuing his time. But then with NCP supremo Sharad Pawar’s penchant to bring sworn rivals together, his birthday bash on December 11 in Delhi seems to have played a perfect backdrop to bring together Adani and Rahul. The Congress leader who breathes fire and brimstone at the conglomerate, we are told, even politely shook hands with Adani. Apparently host Supriya Sule ensured that Adani-Gandhi handshake does not become a photo-op. Now within days of the bash, guess those who organised the bash seem to have had second thoughts about keeping this “historic” handshake under wraps. With no one caring to do even a two-bit news item on the Pawar bash, guess it became incumbent on a select guest (Rajdeep Sardesai ) to share what had transpired between Adani and Rahul with an authorised podcast, Lallantop. Obviously, Supriya Sule must have okayed the podcast as an afterthought. She could have spared much effort if only Rahul Gandhi-Gautam Adani handshake had been photographed. After all, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
