Rahul Gandhi posts Ghalib’s shayari for Narendra Modi; Twitterati rhymes along

On December 22, as he addressed a rally in Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh, he spoke about how Modi laughed at his accusations during his public address in Varanasi. He also tweeted, “The question is whether the Prime Minister was involved in corruption or not? Make fun of me as much as you want but answer my questions.” Responding to Gandhi’s charges, Modi on Thursday said, “it is good he (Rahul) has started to speak because now we know there is no chance of an earthquake”.

But what caught people’s attention on social media was his post in which he ‘replied’ to PM’s response in ‘Ghalib’s shayari’. “Main unka jawab Ghalib ki shayari main dena chahta hoon: Har ek baat pe kehte ho tum ki tu kya hai, tum hi kaho ye andaaz-e-guftugoo kya hai,” he wrote.

The tweet has left people amused on Twitter and they are trolling Gandhi, matching rhyme for rhyme!
