| Modi extends his hand to Kejriwal and retracts it instantly (video below) |
The momentary handshake between PM Modi and Arvind Kejriwal has been making waves.
A video, which shows a fleeting encounter between the two on Saturday at the Inter-state council meeting, has gone viral.
Is the media reading too much into a routine event, or does the video really bring out the discomfort between the two.
An ANI video shows a grim-faced Modi meeting CMs of non-BJP states. He is greeting even those he may not be very comfortable with, indulging in small talk.
Harish Rawat, Naveen Pattnaik, Nitish Kumar for example. But with Arvind Kejriwal no such luck. He just extends his hand and retracts it instantly.
Let it also be noted that that Arvind Kejriwal was a little out of the way for Modi, who could have taken an extra step to greet him.
AAP claims that Modi is obsessed with Arvind Kejriwal and gets worked up about him.
Sometime ago Goa CM Laxmikant Parsekar had told the media that Modi had asked in detail about Kejriwal's visit to the state during a brief meeting.
