Overview
- The leaders’ brief face-to-face at Prerna Sthal on Saturday was recorded and spread widely on social media.
- On-site visuals and reports described a cordial tone that stood out in a period of sharp BJP–Congress clashes.
- Officials did not disclose what was said, though several outlets cited eyewitnesses who heard Modi ask about Sonia Gandhi’s health.
- The exchange took place during tributes to Mahatma Jyotiba Phule’s 200th birth anniversary in the Parliament complex with Om Birla, JP Nadda and Arjun Ram Meghwal present.
- Both leaders later posted separate homages to Phule on X, and coverage framed the moment as symbolic rather than a move with policy impact.
