During a protest march led by the INDIA bloc toward the Election Commission of India (ECI) office, a video featuring Rahul Gandhi gained attention online. The footage shows Gandhi entering Akashwani Bhawan and engaging in a lighthearted moment, described by the Congress party as a 'dhappa'—a Hindi term for a playful game of surprise or 'peek-a-boo.'

The march was organized by opposition leaders to address concerns regarding the electoral process. While the primary focus of the event was the political demonstration, the video of Gandhi’s interaction with security staff became a focal point of the party's social media outreach during the march. The Congress party shared the clip to highlight Gandhi's demeanor amidst the high-stakes political atmosphere. There are no reports of security breaches or official complaints regarding the interaction, and the march proceeded toward the ECI office as planned. The incident serves as a snapshot of the opposition's ongoing efforts to maintain visibility and public engagement while challenging the ruling party's electoral strategies.
