PM Modi, Kharge Share Light Banter at Sule Daughter's Reception
A big party was held in Delhi, India, for a wedding.
The party was for Revati, whose mother, Supriya Sule, is a member of Parliament.
Her grandfather is a famous politician named Sharad Pawar.
Many important leaders came to the party, even though they often disagree with each other in politics.
The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, came and talked with Rahul Gandhi, a leader of another party.
Modi also asked Priyanka Gandhi how she was, and she said she was fine.
Modi said he was still the same person.
Another leader, Mallikarjun Kharge, joked that Modi had changed a little bit.
Modi laughed and said, 'Oh, really?'
Then the two leaders tapped hands in a low-five, and everyone stayed friendly and smiling at the wedding party.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge exchanged warm greetings at the Delhi wedding reception of Revati Sule, daughter of NCP-SP MP Supriya Sule.
Kharge joked that Modi had changed a bit ('thoda badal gaye ho'), though one headline quoted him as saying 'aap bahut badal gaye' (you have changed a lot).
Modi appeared amused, replied 'Oh, really?' ('Achha'), and tapped Kharge on the arm before the two leaders exchanged low-fives.
Modi shook hands with Rahul Gandhi and asked Priyanka Gandhi how she was; when she replied she was fine, he said 'Mai vaisa hi hu' (I am still the same).
The reception at 6 Janpath in Delhi celebrated Revati Sule's marriage to Nagpur-based industrialist Sarang Lakhani; the couple married in Mumbai in June, and guests included Amit Shah, S Jaishankar, Sonia Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav.
