In Retort To 'Balak Buddhi' Jab By Modi At Rahul, Congress Trolls PM On X; Calls Him 'Bail Buddhi'

Taking on Narendra Modi and BJP head-on, Congress party took to social media to troll the Prime Minister.

The grand old party started 'bail buddhi' (dimwit) campaign to counter PM Modi's 'balak buddhi' (childlike mind) jibe at Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi. The Congress went ahead and shared several posts and memes terming PM Modi as 'bail buddhi'.

"Do you know who is bail buddhi?" the party asked in one of the posts. "The one who talks nonsense," it added.

To "prove" their claim, Congress shared clips from a video where Modi is heard saying, "I have never even seen college in my life". In the same video, the PM says that "I have a 'photographic memory', and I don't have to read files thoroughly. I can just have a glance of it and know what's written inside."

This retort from Congress comes days after PM Modi took a swipe at LoP Rahul Gandhi in the Lok Sabha and called him 'balak buddhi'.

"We saw childish behaviour in Lok Sabha yesterday. The entire Congress ecosystem is busy pleasing a child these days (Bachhe ka mann behlane ka kaam chal raha hai)," PM Modi said.

He added, "The House witnessed the wailing of a person with 'balak buddhi'. I recall a story of a boy who was boasting around with 99 marks, showing everyone how many marks he got. When people heard 99, they would praise him and boost his confidence. Then his teacher came and said, 'He didn't get 99 out of 100, but 99 out of 543.' Now, who will explain to that foolish boy that he has set a world record for failure?"
