Did anyone feel the earthquake?

Well it was definitely felt by @INCIndia! @RahulGandhi ji spoke without any factual data & reduced it to merely becoming a laughing stock. You indeed make it memorable everytime you speak in the house.. — Anurag Thakur (@ianuragthakur) July 20, 2018

Fabulous speech by @RahulGandhi Ji loaded with facts, highlighted issues & concerns with substantive arguments & in the end after hitting out #BJP for a six, hugs #PM #Modi-this proves that hate & venom is not vital to prove your point #NoConfidenceMotion

Rahul launched an aggressive attack on PM Modi and his government's policies. But no one expected his speech to end with a hug to the PM and then wink at a party colleague. The Congress President called the promises and claims of the PM as 'Joomla', and added that the assurances which had won PM Modi elections in 2014 are still awaited and that the ground reality is far from what is being projected.
