Twitter Took Down Rahul Gandhi For Sleeping In the Lok Sabha…AGAIN!

Rahul Baba seems to have the worst timing in the history of Indian politics till date.

Rahul Gandhi, the said scion of the Congress Party was seen napping (again), resting his head on his palm when his party was raising their loudest voice in Lok Sabha, on the issue of the thrashing four Dalit youth in Gujarat’s Una village, against BJP.

He was dozing off even when the Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh’s speech on the problem of casteism that grapples the country on so many different levels.

Congress politicians started defending him with the most outrageous excuses.

Instead of ‘Art of Living’, #RahulGandhi mastered the ‘Art of Sleeping’ during his overseas vacations? #SnoozingRaGa https://t.co/pumLM6IYYI

A lot of Congress politicians and common folk came in defence of the baby Gandhi but couldn’t overpower the wave of smug Twitterati.

Political matter or not, it sure is worth a laugh! 😀
