'Dukhi' Rahul Gandhi Like 'Bandu' (Baby) Learning to Walk, We Don't Take Him Seriously: Minister Nitin Gadkari

Union minister Nitin Gadkari dismissed Rahul Gandhi's '0 on 10' rating for the Narendra Modi government saying the Congress Vice President is in "dukh" (sorrow) and "dard" (pain) because of successive defeats and should be "forgiven" for what he says in a such a state. Speaking on NDTV's special series, The Townhall, Mr Gadkari mocked the Congress leader's new aggression, saying Rahul Gandhi is like a toddler learning to take baby steps. The minister also said that just like medical students do internships before becoming doctors, Mr Gandhi is on a "political internship" before taking over as Congress president.
