Rahul Gandhi’s sudden visit to Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the PMO on Monday evening set off a wave of speculation across political circles and media platforms. With no prior announcement and no official agenda disclosed, the high-profile meeting between two arch political rivals instantly drew national attention.
Was it a thaw in relations? A surprise political negotiation? As it turns out, the meeting was part of a formal process—Rahul Gandhi attended a key committee meeting to decide the next Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
The three-member panel, comprising the Prime Minister, the Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna, and the Leader of the Opposition (Rahul Gandhi), met to discuss the successor to current CBI chief Praveen Sood, whose term ends on May 25.
