Rahul Gandhi Calls Bangalore A ‘State’ And Twitter Can’t Stop Talking About #IndiraCanteen

Whenever Rahul Gandhi gives a speech, you know there’s material for the web to talk about it later. And not disappointing people this time too, the Vice President of the Indian National Congress, at the launch of Indira Canteen, made two speech gaffes in just about one sentence.

Indira Canteen promises hygienic meals for affordable prices of ₹5 for breakfast and ₹10 for dinner. During his speech, Rahul said,

“The chief minister has mentioned to me that Bangalore is just the beginning. Soon, over the next couple of months, every single city in Bangalore, every single poor person in every single city in Bangalore will feel that in the state of Karnataka, under Siddaramaiah government, ‘I simply cannot go hungry’. That is the vision of the Amma…Indira Canteen.“

 

And, then what? Twitter mercilessly trolled him.

3. He’s got a point.

#IndiraCanteen is an example on how Congress has named all the Govt schemes after Nehru-Gandhis
That's YOUR money for dynasty brand building

4. That’s so true.

Rahul Gandhi faux pas reminds me of a student who blindly cheats from his friend including the name. #IndiraCanteen

7. That he sure is!

Rahul Gandhi is so apt at removing the entire focus from the event to his speech gaffes. He is a boon to his opponents. #IndiraCanteen

Pappu proposed Bangalore as a seperate state today.. so Kormangla, Indiranagar, E-City, Whitefield are seperate cities. 🤔 #IndiraCanteen
