Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi, who is leading the Bharat Jodo Yatra, has given a befitting reply to his opponents for calling him ‘Pappu’. He said during an interview that he has no objection to being called ‘Pappu’ as it is part of the opponents’ propaganda campaign. Rahul Gandhi said in an interview with ‘The Bombay Journey’ that he knows that fear has crept into the hearts of his opponents. He further said that he is unhappy with our visit that is why he is making such statements. I don’t care about these names. I say that please they take my other name. The interview was taken during the Bharat Jodo trip when he was in Mumbai.
Even my grandmother was called dumb doll by these people: Rahul Gandhi
Talking about Indira Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi said that before she was called Iron Lady, she was called Gungi Gudiya. The same people who attack me round the clock called my grandmother a dumb doll and suddenly the dumb doll became Iron Lady. Rahul Gandhi said that I do not care. You can call me anything. I don’t need to take it. Rahul was asked that would you like to have a woman with the qualities of Indira Gandhi in your life? On this Rahul said that this is an interesting question. I would like to say that the qualities of my mother and grandmother are a good combination.
