Rahul Gandhi takes veiled dig at PM after World Cup defeat 'Panauti ne hara diya'

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, while addressing an election rally in Jalore, Rajasthan, on Tuesday, November 21, spoke about the Indian cricket team’s loss against Australia in the recently concluded ICC World Cup finals.

While he was speaking to the crowd, Rahul spoke about Panauti (bad omen), one of the most



trending words on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) soon after the match.

“Ache bhale hamare ladke waha pe World Cup jeet jaate, par panauti ne harwa diya. (our boys were almost winning the World Cup, but the ‘bad omen’ made them lose),” Rahul said taking a veiled dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
