It’s always interesting to take a peek into those little chits that great leaders often carry while making speeches. Not only does it give a sense of the leader’s talking points, the ‘cheat-sheet’ also offers an often naked idea of the leader’s thought process.

Today, thanks to a brilliant photographer of the Kolkata-based ‘The Telegraph’ newspaper, we got a rough idea as to how Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi thinks. The photograph captures a shot of a piece of paper that Rahul carried into the Parliament before his speech. That speech was the one Rahul made amidst the debate on the Lalit Modi furore in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday.

Here’s what we discovered from the paper. Rahul may make his speech in Hindi, but he writes his Hindi speech in English. The first talking point on the paper was, “Log PM Modi ko sunna chahte hai, woh unki rai janna chahte hai, Modigate par, Vyapam par.” (People want to hear from PM Modi, about Modigate, about Vyapam). Maybe Rahul wanted to say ‘Lalitgate’? We aren’t quite sure about that.

Second, he takes a page from Modi’s own dictionary. Another point reads, ‘Logon ko Modi ji ki jagah Maun Modi dikh raha hai’ (People see a silent Modi when they look at Modi ji). Yes, Rahul makes a word play. During his election campaign speeches in 2014, PM Modi had often said that then-PM was not ‘Manmohan’ but ‘Maunmohan’.

Third, the ‘three monkeys of Gandhiji’ finds mention in Rahul’s talking points. Now, this is interesting. On his page, Rahul has scribbled the words ‘Bura mat dekho’, ‘bura mat suno’, ‘bura mat socho’ (the three gems that Gandhiji gave the Indians).

We would have loved to see what else Rahul had scribbled on his ‘cheat-sheet’, but the photograph was not clear enough. But, as always, Twitter had a field day making fun of Rahul’s ‘cheat-sheet’.

Here are some reactions from twitter:
