Sharmila Meets Rajiv Gandhi, Gets Trolled!

Y S Sharmila

In the realm of politics, people keenly observe when leaders stumble and when they seize the chance to jest. This time, it was YSRTP President Sharmila who became the center of attention. She engaged in a morning meeting with Congress party chief Sonia Gandhi, even sharing breakfast together. This rendezvous sparked speculation about her potential joining of the Congress party. However, Sharmila’s comment after the meeting drew the attention of internet trolls and humorists.

In a lighthearted twist, Sharmila mentioned that she had met with both Sonia Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi. Trolls promptly seized this remark as an opportunity for their own jests.

On Twitter, one jocularly inquired, “Couldn’t you meet Indira Gandhi?” Another tweet humorously pondered whether YS Rajasekhara Reddy and Vivekananda Reddy were perhaps unavailable for a meeting.

Occasional lapses in the statements of political leaders are only natural. Recently, TDP chief Chandrababu’s interview remark about needing to study BIPC in Inter to pursue engineering was met with teasing.

Similarly, the party’s national secretary, Lokesh, initially encountered speech stumbles during his padayatra but made commendable improvements thereafter.

Critiques of YCP chief Jagan have been abundant, with opponents often pointing out mistakes in his speeches and even suggesting he lacks proficiency in reading Telugu.
