"Priyanka Chopra zindabad": Cong leader's gaffe

December 02, 2019 08:41 IST

Congress former MLA Surender Kumar on Sunday made a blunder during a public rally by mistakenly stating 'Priyanka Chopra zindabad’ instead of cheering for party leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.

 

The video of the rally has gone viral on social media wherein the three-time MLA from Bawana can be heard saying, "Sonia Gandhi zindabad, Congress party zindabad, Rahul Gandhi zindabad, Priyanka Chopra zindabad."

 

Soon after realising his mistake, Kumar apologised and corrected himself and said, "Priyanka Gandhi zindabad".

In the 2017 bypolls, Kumar lost to Aam Aadmi Party’s Ram Chander.

Taking to Twitter, Akali Dal leader and MLA from Rajouri Garden, Manjinder Singh Sirsa took a dig at Congress leader and said: "In the Congress rally, slogans are being raised for Priyanka Chopra. It seems the whole party is Pappu."
