Janjivan Bureau / New Delhi : Congress president Rahul Gandhi provoked a trail of trolls on Twitter on Monday when he mocked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his Singapore interview faux pas.
“The first Indian PM who takes “spontaneous” questions that the translator has pre-scripted answers to! Good that he doesn’t take real questions. Would have been a real embarrassment to us all if he did,” Gandhi said in context of the PM’s translator at a National Technical University event in Singapore reading his answers from a pre scripted text.
Trolls quickly got on to Gandhi with one saying, “Ever heard speeches in UN and elsewhere by non-English speaking Politicians? All instantly translated, not pre-scripted, you buffoon!”
Gandhi is in the US with his mother Sonia Gandhi for her annual medical review.
He is expected back tomorrow.
