Rahul Gandhi’s speeches are always food for much banter long after they’ve been delivered. So are his tweets. And, the reason is obvious! More than his political opinions, Gandhi’s comments make waves because, well, sometimes it’s difficult to make sense of them. And it was no different on February 23 when he stepped out to address the crowd in Amethi during the UP Assembly elections.

While addressing the public, he said, “Modiji chunaav haar chuke hain…wo jitni bhi nafrat faila sakte hain faila le, lekin ye Uttar Pradesh unki nahi sunega, Congress aur Samajwadi Party ki sarkaar banayega. (Modiji has lost the elections. He can spread all the hate he wants to, but Uttar Pradesh won’t listen to him, public will make Congress and Samajwadi Party the ruling parties).”

Meanwhile, as the votes were being counted after the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation Elections Elections 2017 in Mumbai, it was found that the BJP and the Shiv Sena were neck and neck with a successful feat in 81 wards and 84 wards, respectively, as per trends at 4.45pm. Though eventually Shiv Sena won, emerging as the single largest party winning 84 seats, BJP didn’t fare all that badly, and people left no stone unturned to poke fun at Gandhi’s words — when he tweeted that “Modiji has lost the elections”. Especially since Congress performed so poorly.
