Twitter tears Rahul Gandhi apart after he shows ripped kurta

Let's face it, even if Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi saved the world, he would still be the butt of jokes on Twitter. It's just how it is. Recently, Gandhi attended a rally where he was wearing a torn kurta. Well, in Twitter's defence, this actually called for a series of jokes.

During the rally in Uttarakhand, Gandhi showed his torn kurta and said, "“Mera pocket/kurta phata ho toh mujhe farak nahi padta,lekin Modi Ji ka kapda kabhi nahi phata hoga aur vo gareeb ki rajneeti karte hain (I wear a torn kurta but you’ll never see Modiji in a torn kurta. He only plays politics of the poor)."

Well, it was all that was needed actually, given that Rahul Gandhi had just returned from a European vacation.

Here's how Twitter reacted:

What sort of liar do you have to be to think YOU could pull "I am poor" off? There really is no limit to this man's stupidity. Zero. https://t.co/tMUcTWDhlv

BJP spokesmen are entirely correct in their claim that the more Rahul Gandhi speaks in public, the more he helps the BJP.
