BJP releases poster displaying Rahul Gandhi as ‘fuse tubelight’ calls him, ‘Made in China.
The BJP on Friday posted a social media post on X featuring Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, playfully labeling him as a ‘tubelight.’
The shared poster, titled ‘Fuse Tubelight,’ adds, ‘Made in China, Congress Presents Rahul Gandhi in and as tubelight.’
Earlier on February 6, 2020,
PM Modi had mocked Rahul Gandhi a ‘tubelight’ in Parliament and said, “he has been speaking for 30-40 minutes but it took this long for the current to reach. Many tubelights are like this
Prime Minister Modi responded when the Congress leader stood up from his seat and posed a question to him regarding the matter of unemployment.
However, in response to
PM Modi’s ‘tubelight’ comment, Rahul Gandhi issued a sharp retort, stating that the Prime Minister does not behave like a Prime Minister.
Rahul Gandhi alleged that normally, a prime minister has a particular status, a prime minister has a particular way of behaving, a particular stature, our prime minister doesn’t have these. He does not behave in a prime ministerial way. For such words, Rahul Gandhi must be arrested and made to apologise to PM Modi.
Earlier on Thursday, the Election Commission (EC) served a show-cause notice to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, citing his remarks such as “panauti,” “pickpocket,” and “loan waiver for the super-rich” directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The notice instructs Gandhi to provide a response by Saturday.
As per Election Commission notice, the use of the term “panauti” is deemed to potentially violate the provisions outlined in section 123 of the Representation of the People Act, pertaining to corrupt practices.
Clause 2, sub-section (ii) of section 123 states that any person who induces or attempts to induce a candidate or an elector to believe that he, or any person in whom he is interested, will become or will be rendered an object of divine displeasure or spiritual censure, shall be deemed to interfere with the free exercise of the electoral right of such a candidate or elector, the notice reminded Gandhi.
