NEW DELHI: Posters calling Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi "the real life Batman" were put up near the Congress' Indira Bhawan headquarters and in parts of central Delhi by a party functionary.
The posters had Gandhi's picture alongside the picture of Batman. It had the captions 'The Silent Guardian' and 'A Watchful Protector' written on them.
The other caption on the poster was 'LoP Rahul Gandhi - The Real Life Batman'.
The posters, courtesy Delhi Pradesh Youth Congress chief Akshay Lakra, were put up near the entrance of Congress headquarters Indira Bhawan at Kotla Road and near the Indian Youth Congress office on Raisina Road here.
The posters come days after Gandhi, during an 'Ask Me Anything' session on Instagram, had given a witty response to the poser - Are you Batman.
Gandhi had answered, equally straight up, sidestepping any comparison to the caped crusader: Let's just say that no one has ever seen me and Batman in the same room together.
'Ask Me Anything', the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha had said in a fresh outreach to Gen Z. And they did, the questions had poured in right through the session on Instagram. Some serious, others casual and witty.
