‘If she had contested elections in Delhi, she would have won by lakhs of votes…’: Georgia Meloni made a big revelation about the interesting story of her visit to India.

Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni’s love for India is not hidden from anyone. Recently, her new book ‘Georgia Vision’ has come in the market, in which Meloni has mentioned such moments during her visit to India in the year 2023, which seem like scenes from a movie. Meloni said that when she reached India, not only she but her delegation was stunned to see the flood of posters welcoming her on the streets of New Delhi. Posters on the streets of Delhi changed the mood In her book, Meloni recalled that as she walked through the streets of Delhi, she saw ‘Welcome’ posters with her photos everywhere. Even on return, those posters were changed to ‘Thanks for the visit’. Seeing this scene, Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani commented humorously, "Melonie, if you had contested elections from any seat in Delhi, you would have got at least 10 lakh votes!" This comment became a cause of laughter for the entire group present with him at that time. ‘Melody’ duo and a new style of diplomacy Georgia Meloni came to India twice in 2023—first time for the Raisina Dialogue and second time to attend the G20 summit. During this time, her chemistry with Prime Minister Narendra Modi created a lot of discussion not only in political circles but also on social media. In the internet world, people had lovingly named this couple ‘Melody’ (Meloni + Modi). In the book’s chapter ‘Heads Held High Among the World Greats’, Maloney emphasizes that diplomacy is not limited to formal meetings and paper agreements, but it is the personal relationships between leaders that make the biggest difference on the world stage. That memorable moment with the cigarette In his book, Meloni has shared his informal moments spent not only with India but also with other global leaders. Referring to his meeting with Tunisian President Kais Saied, he narrated an interesting incident. When the atmosphere became a bit relaxed after a two-hour long conversation, she asked Saeed if she could smoke a cigarette. This question of Meloni completely changed the atmosphere and Saeed also took out his cigarette. This moment is recorded in his book as a human relationship that transcends formal boundaries. This book, with a foreword written by US Vice President JD Vance, has now become a topic of discussion around the world.
