In a monumental embarrassment, Rahul Gandhi's slip of tongue has come to haunt him in a big way before elections. Giving a speech in Delhi, the Congress chief has done a blunder by putting a 'Ji' (meaning 'Garu' in Telugu) after Masood Azhar. Now, Masood Azhar is the chief of Jaish-e-Mohammed. A terrorist getting a 'Ji' from the PM-in-waiting by mistake. Well.

"What is common between Rahul Gandhi and Pakistan? Their love for terrorists. Please note Rahul ji’s reverence for terrorist Masood Azhar," said Union Minister Smriti Irani.

"Come on “Rahul Gandhi Ji”! Earlier it were the likes of Digvijay Ji who called “Osama Ji” and “Hafiz Saeed Sahab”. Now you are saying “Masood Azhar Ji”. What is happening to Congress Party?" quipped Ravi Shankar Prasad, another BJP Minister.

The saffron party has successfully spread on social media the video clip of Rahul making the goof-up. Last checked, it went viral in the Hindi heartland overnight!
