Tweet gaffe: Rahul Gandhi faces a barrage of criticism

New Delhi, June 21, 2020-

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday faced a barrage of criticism from BJP and its allies after he misspelt ‘surrender’ word as ‘surender’ in his tweet, called the Prime Minister “Surender Modi”.

BJP’s social media chief Amit Malviya resurrected the Bofors scam to embarrass Gandhi. “He earlier tried to salvage his father’s Bofors legacy by questioning the Rafale deal,” remarked Malviya.
