Congress goads, BJP fumes after comic mimics Modi at Rahul’s Chhatron Ki Goonj in Indore
Congress and BJP exchanged accusations after a comedian mimicked Narendra Modi’s mannerisms and foreign-leader interactions at Rahul Gandhi’s student event, with clips spreading on X.
- On Saturday in Indore, standup comic Pulkit Mani mimicked Prime Minister Narendra Modi during Rahul Gandhi's 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' event, with Gandhi seen laughing as the performer referenced the Prime Minister's interactions with an elderly woman.
- Criticism erupted when the comedian, impersonating Modi, referred to the Prime Minister's late mother, prompting BJP national spokesperson CR Kesavan to allege Rahul Gandhi insulted 'Naari Shakti' by laughing at the remarks.
- Kesavan contrasted the incident with Modi's conduct, stating that 'Rahul Gandhi indulges in revelry when they are being shamelessly disrespected' while Modi had ensured a chair for an elderly woman.
- Union Minister Prahlad Joshi and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav joined the backlash, calling the conduct 'extremely shameful, condemnable, and unbecoming' and demanding an apology from the Congress leader.
- This incident follows a wider social media war between the Congress and the BJP, which earlier this month saw parties exchange AI-generated images targeting Sonia Gandhi and other leaders.
