Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday joined other Congress leaders to demand a debate in Parliament about the increasing instances of communal violence in the country. While making a subtle remark against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Rahul said, “Only one man's voice was being heard in the country.”
But while his critics in the Parliament claimed his statements to be an act of desperation, Twitter once again, used the opportunity to make jokes at his expense with hashtags such as #RahulWakesUp.
I think BJP should let Rahul Gandhi speak to promote livelihood amongst aspiring comedians.

If his political career doesn't take flight, looks like Rahul Gandhi will have to contend with just providing endless fodder to tickle our funny bone on social media.
