NEW DELHI: The Congress party took a direct jab at Prime Minister Narendra Modi after he called Rahul Gandhi ‘balak buddhi’ (childlike mind) in parliament, Indian media reported.
They launched a social media campaign mocking Modi as ‘bael buddhi’ (dimwit), sharing memes and posts to criticize him. They highlighted instances where Modi claimed to have a photographic memory and shared clips of his other mistakes. “Do you know who is bael buddhi?” the party asked in one of the posts. “The one who talks nonsense,” it added.
Earlier, Modi accused the Congress of pandering to Rahul Gandhi’s whims and mocked his claims of being unfairly targeted by the government. He compared Rahul’s actions to a child crying for sympathy without admitting fault.
On July 2, PM Modi mocked Rahul Gandhi in Lok Sabha by repeatedly referring to the leader of opposition as a child without taking his name and using ‘balak budhi’ jibe. “We saw childish behaviour in Lok Sabha,” said PM Modi in a swipe at Rahul’s speech in Lok Sabha.
“The entire Congress ecosystem is busy pleasing a child these days,” PM Modi said. He accused the leader of opposition of indulging in drama to gain sympathy.
To mock Rahul Gandhi over his claims of being targeted and attacked by the government, PM Modi narrated the story of a child who was crying to gain sympathy without disclosing the wrongs he had committed.
