00:00Rahul Gandhi's protest politics appears to be taking a different shape.
00:04From surprise sit-ins to sudden change of location,
00:07the opposition's protests are increasingly built around the element of surprise.
00:12Here's a report.
00:30Two detentions in 24 hours.
00:33Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi were detained by Delhi police again on Tuesday
00:37before being released within hours.
00:40But this time, the protest did not start with a march.
00:44It began with a lunch.
00:46India bloc leaders had gathered for lunch in central Delhi.
00:51It was a routine political meeting until the leaders suddenly got into buses
00:57and the lunch turned into a flash protest.
01:00No long march announcement, no elaborate build-up.
01:04Just a sudden change of plan and a protest on the streets.
01:12In fact, this was the second surprise move in 48 hours.
01:19Just a day earlier, the opposition's march to the election commission had been stopped.
01:24Police had barricaded the route.
01:26Priyanka boarded a bus.
01:28Rahul was about to follow.
01:30Then, the Gandhis suddenly changed direction.
01:33They dashed towards Akashbhani Bhavan,
01:36a move that caught police off guard and even surprised some Congress leaders.
01:41The detour turned into another sitting.
01:44But this surprise formula had been used before.
01:49On July 21st, Congress MPs were initially called to Mallika Arjun Khargay's residence.
01:55Then came the real plan.
01:57Rahul Gandhi and party leaders suddenly marched towards the Prime Minister's residence.
02:07A flash sitting outside 7, Lok Kalyan Mark.
02:11Police moved in and Rahul was detaped.
02:20Another unexpected move came on August 21st.
02:24Rahul Gandhi walked into Parliament Street Police Station with student Sahil Lochab and demanded
02:30F.I.R. over alleged pellet gun injuries.
02:33When the F.I.R. wasn't immediately registered, Rahul sat down outside the station.
02:39Priyanka Gandhi and opposition leaders soon joined him.
02:43Seven hours later, the F.I.R. was registered.
