All the MPs applauded finance minister Arun Jaitley’s ‘Shayari’ (poetry) in the parliament yesterday, except for Rahul Gandhi. RaGa was probably busy decoding the underlying economic jargons of budget 2017, as Jaitley sprouted complex English sentences in his elaborate speech.
Brushing it off as a ‘Sher-o-Shayari ka budget’, Rahul zealously criticised the union budget 2017. Why? Perhaps because the budget lacked ostentatious promises regarding big agricultural reforms and employment opportunities for the year, which is customary of the Congress government. Calling it a ‘flowery speech’ Rahul pointed out flaws in Jaitley’s business saying that the government hadn’t done anything to reduce the brunt of demonetisation on the youth, business and farming classes.
On an interesting note, Gandhi was found missing for some time, while Jaitley delivered his detailed budget speech. While we can certainly excuse this blooper, after all it’s Rahul, who’s known to pull up such antics, it didn’t sit well with the social media users. When Gandhi posted his ‘sincere views’ on his Twitter handle, he was mercilessly trolled for his reaction towards Jaitley’s Budget 2017.
Here’s how the Twitteratis Mercilessly Slammed Rahul Gandhi for his Epic Reaction
1. Ouch, that was harsh!
