Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma ridiculed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on X for a typo in Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s name, suggesting a playful edit to Rahul’s own name.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma of Assam posted a tweet on X mocking Congress leader Rahul Gandhi after a typo appeared in Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s name. The typo, which omitted an ‘a’ in “Sitharaman,” was noticed by the public and quickly circulated. In response, Himanta wrote, "Should we also drop last letter from Rahul?" as a playful jab at Rahul’s name. The tweet was shared widely across social media, sparking commentary from political observers. Rahul Gandhi has not issued a response to the remark, and the incident remains a brief moment of political banter rather than a formal dispute.
