Delhi legislator confuses Rahul, Rajiv Gandhi
29 Oct 2013 5:06 AM IST
A Congress legislator in Delhi committed a gaffe at Rahul Gandhi’s rally here as he confused the party vice president with his late father and former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi.
To keep up the enthusiasm of crowds - waiting since 9 am to listen to Rahul Gandhi who arrived at 1 pm, several local leaders delivered speeches that were less than enthralling.
Legislator Jai Kishan unwittingly mixed up Rahul and Rajiv Gandhi.
‘For this country, Rahul Gandhi has sacrificed his life,’ he said. Another Congress leader Kuldeep Nagra ended up calling Arvinder Singh Lovely as a central minister. Lovely is Delhi’s urban development minister.
As Gandhi arrived to address the rally, people climbed on their chairs to see him and the sloganeering reached its crescendo. Mangolpuri was agog with activity. Though many shops were shut due to security reasons, the scene was akin to that of a ‘mela’.
