New Delhi: Two meetings hogged conversations in Delhi’s power corridors on Friday, each carrying hidden political connotations.
Modi’s Runway Meeting in Varanasi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi landed in Varanasi and abruptly held an unscheduled discussion with three senior district officers—the Divisional Commissioner, District Magistrate, and Police Commissioner—right on the airport tarmac.

Gujarat CM inaugurates 'GUJCON' in Ahmedabad
Things have been haywire from the past few days in the state. The topic? A grotesque incident had happened with a 19-year-old girl who got gang-raped by 23 men in Varanasi. PM Modi was so poignant by her pain that his direct intervention, even bypassing Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, raised eyebrows.
Has this act galled PM Modi against indomitable Yogi Adityanath, prompting their estrangement? And now, by questioning officials in the open and allowing photos of the meeting to circulate, has PM Modi sent a powerful message across the political landscape? Is this a sign of umbrage at the state’s law and order? Or a subtle shift in trust? The optics suggest urgency and perhaps a political signal.
Soren’s Meeting with a Judge
Meanwhile, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, recently out on bail in a money laundering case, flew to Deoghar to meet Supreme Court Justice BR Gavai. Justice Gavai was part of the bench that upheld Soren’s bail.

The meeting itself wasn’t a secret. Soren categorically publicized three photos on his social media handles. His tweets raised a furore over their meeting. Critics question the intent: when PM Modi’s visit to the CJI’s residence for Ganesh Puja stirred controversy, why is Soren’s meeting with a sitting judge not under similar scrutiny?
The Unspoken Messages
Were both meetings or public consumption staged? Modi’s tarmac talk highlights hands-on governance—or a snub to Adityanath. Soren’s judicial meet, flaunted on Twitter, seems a bold assertion of political resilience.
In Delhi’s rumor mills, every handshake carries meaning. These two encounters? A coincidence or just calculated politics.
