At top level, several leaders of various political parties always share a fond association and respect. No matter how much they bicker in public, they extend a lot of personal courtesies to each other, which is again one of the strong points of Indian democracy. Kalam’s death unite Rahul and PM Modi too.
Even AP CM Chandrababu Naidu visited Rameshwaram in Tamil Nadu to attend the last rites of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. There was a separate stage erected for the galaxy of leaders who descended onto the island town to pay their last respects to the departed man. Interestingly, one thing was covered extensively here.

CM Chandrababu Naidu and Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad were seated close to each other in a corner and they
were reportedly seen speaking seriously for a long time. This was
covered by Telugu media
extensively and now there are speculations over what they may have spoken.
Naidu’s rivals surmise that both of them would have spoken about Modi’s performance and feedback as well as any common strategy to contain Jagan or the state of affairs in TS under KCR’s rule. TDP leaders dismiss that saying Babu always has high regard for Azad because he facilitated Babu’s entry into politics in late 70s and also attended his wedding; therefore they have some personal closeness.
