Rahul’s Slip-Up Saying ‘6-Year-Old Youth’: His Speech Sparks More Buzz Than Modi’s, Faces Trolls on Social Media; BJP Takes a Dig
Both houses of Parliament are currently witnessing heated debates. On Saturday, Rahul Gandhi and Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the Lok Sabha. However, it is Rahul Gandhi’s speech that has become the center of attention on social media.
Meanwhile, the BJP has mocked his address. The party shared a clip of his speech on social media and tweeted, “When numbers, logic, common sense, and intellect decide to take a long vacation together!”
Rahul Gandhi Faces Trolls Over Speech Slip
Rahul Gandhi became a target of trolls after a video of his recent speech went viral. In the video, he says, “Thousands of years ago, a 6-7-year-old youth in the forest would wake up every day at 4 AM…” At this point, BJP MPs interrupt him, making him realize his mistake. He quickly corrects himself, saying, “Child, child… This is the problem… There is penance in the bow, penance in working under MGNREGA… Penance means generating heat in the body. Understand, yes, this is the meaning of penance. Just as Dronacharya took Eklavya’s thumb, similarly, you have…”
A BJP MP then interjected, saying, “Dronacharya did not cut off Eklavya’s thumb, sir.” Rahul nodded and continued, “Just as Eklavya’s thumb was taken, you are taking away the thumbs of India’s youth in the same way.”
