Let’s face it, even if Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi saved the world, he would still be the butt of jokes on Twitter. It’s just how it is. Recently, Gandhi attended a rally where he was wearing a torn kurta. Well, in Twitter’s defence, this actually called for a series of jokes.
During the rally in Uttarakhand, Gandhi showed his torn kurta and said, ““Mera pocket/kurta phata ho toh mujhe farak nahi padta,lekin Modi Ji ka kapda kabhi nahi phata hoga aur vo gareeb ki rajneeti karte hain (I wear a torn kurta but you’ll never see Modiji in a torn kurta. He only plays politics of the poor).”
Well, it was all that was needed actually, given that Rahul Gandhi had just returned from a European vacation.
Here’s how Twitter reacted:
What sort of liar do you have to be to think YOU could pull “I am poor” off? There really is no limit to this man’s stupidity. Zero. https://t.co/tMUcTWDhlv

BJP spokesmen are entirely correct in their claim that the more Rahul Gandhi speaks in public, the more he helps the BJP.
