Taking to Twitter, the Congress leader posted a 52-second video clipping, consisting of a medley of Modi’s speeches with repeated references to the Gandhi family. “This entertaining video has been presented by Mr. 36! I hope you enjoy seeing it! Please share it with your family and friends so that they can enjoy it too,” Rahul said.

The video begins with Modi addressing BJP workers and saying, “There used to be gramophone records earlier. At times, it would get stuck and play the same words again and again. There are some people like it. One thing occupies their mind and they keep repeating it.”

The PM’s speech, in the video, is followed by his other speeches where he repeatedly made references to members of the Gandhi family – Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi – across rallies.
