As the ‘crucial meeting’ of the Congress Working Committee convened on Monday, senior leaders came out with different views on leadership change. It was then Assam Congress president Ripun Bora came up with a statement that has evoked laughter among netizens who were rather ‘shocked’ to hear him saying Modi fears only Rahul Gandhi, pointing out to the need of Rahul Gandhi to be the congress chief.
Ripun Bora said on Sunday that he had asked Sonia Gandhi to give party’s leadership to her son since Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scared of Rahul Gandhi only.
“In an earlier video conference meeting with Congress president Sonia Gandhi & Rajya Sabha MPs, I categorically appealed to Sonia Gandhi to give the leadership of Congress party to Rahul Gandhi as Narendra Modi is scared of Rahul Gandhi only,” news agency ANI quoted Bora as saying.
Rahul Gandhi had resigned as Congress president in July last year, taking responsibility for the party’s defeat in Lok Sabha elections.
Meanwhile, trollers took this a chance to celebrate the millennium joke who came up with comments on the remark. While one comment said PM Modi is afraid if he would lose the best tool to win the next elections without Rahul Gandhi, few others said that PM Modi is afraid if he would get sprain laughing listening to the jokes of Rahul Gandhi that are popular in the social media. Rahul Gandhi is a lucky charm for BJP for it is always him who helps BJP to win elections, noted another netizen.
In whatever circumstances the congress leader made the statement, it has sparked massive laughter in the social media which netizens seem to enjoy.
Rahul Gandhi had earlier resigned as Congress president in July last year, taking responsibility for the party’s defeat in Lok Sabha elections. Amidst scathing attacks demanding the stepping down of Congress interim chief Sonia Gandhi, the meeting was concluded with a resolution where Mrs. Gandhi would remain as the president for the tenure of 6 more months, on which netizens made their comment too:
” On Monday, Sonia Gandhi gave her resignation to Sonia Gandhi which was rejected by Sonia Gandhi because Sonia Gandhi said the resignation is not a solution for problems created by Sonia Gandhi. Sonia Gandhi then requested Sonia Gandhi to guide the congress which Sonia Gandhi accepted and thanked Sonia Gandhi for reposing faith in Sonia Gandhi.”
