Video: Rahul Gandhi caught "sleeping" during price rise debate in Lok Sabha; Twitterati reacts
The ruling BJP used the visuals of Rahul's 'dozing off' on the house TV channel to hit out at the Congress.
The Congress was not serious on the issue of price rise, and Rahul Gandhi "was so bored during the discussion on price rise that he went into sleep", Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Shahnawaz Hussain told reporters.
"Rahul Gandhi was seen sleeping in parliament during a debate on price rise. That's what the Congress was doing during their 10-year rule," Hussain tweeted.
Rahul

The visuals of Rahul Gandhi, the Lok Sabha member (MP) from Amethi in Uttar Pradesh - dozing off were aired by many news channels.
As the news spread that Rahul had dozed off in Lok Sabha, the Twitteati, as usual flooded the microbloggig site with some really humurous tweets.
Some Twitter reactions are as follows:

It
is
wrong
to
say
that
rahul
gandhi
was
sleeping
in
Parliament.
He
has
a
dream
for
India
and
he
was
watching
it.
What
is
wrong
in
that?
