We know wherever Rahul Gandhi goes, jokes follow. Rahul Baba seems to have the worst timing in the history of Indian politics till date. He has been in the public eye for a lot of reasons and here comes one more that might stay here for long.

Recently, the Congress leader continued his attack on PM Modi and even targeted the RSS, BJP’s ideological mentor, during his speech. But what received a huge response from the crowd was his ‘torn pocket’ antics.

Yes, while slamming the Modi government over demonetisation, RaGa stopped his speech midway and decided to show the torn pocket of his white kurta to the crowd. He walked towards the mic again, and said,

“Mera kurta phata hua hai…lekin Modiji ka kurta kabhi phata hua nahi milta. Bade paisewalon ke saath unki photo milegi (See, I wear torn kurta. You’ll never find Modiji wearing a torn kurta. He can only be spotted with the rich and powerful of the world.)

But going by people’s reactions on Twitter, it seems the actions spoke louder than RaGa’s words, and Twitterati went to town captioning their expressions.

Here are some of the hilarious captions on Twitter:

1. Rohan Joshi started a donation campaign for ‘RaGa’
