Congress leader Rahul Gandhi faced social media trolling after his X post criticizing PM Modi regarding Adani Green Energy and Norway's sovereign wealth fund mistakenly used the Swedish flag instead of Norway's.
Switch To Shorts

The controversy erupted after Rahul Gandhi criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi over Norway's sovereign wealth fund reportedly removing Adani Green Energy from its portfolio.

In the viral post, Rahul Gandhi wrote:

"We get very good information these days.

Modi ji, did Norway agree to your personal request to remove Adani from their pension fund black list?"

However, social media users quickly pointed out that the image attached to the post showed the flag of Sweden instead of Norway.

What Was the Mistake?

The post was intended to target Norway's sovereign wealth fund decision and PM Modi's recent Norway visit. But users noticed that the graphic displayed a blue-and-yellow Scandinavian cross flag - which belongs to Sweden - instead of Norway's red, white, and blue flag.

The mistake immediately triggered memes and criticism online, with many questioning how such an error made it through Rahul Gandhi's official social media team.

Several users sarcastically commented that despite Rahul Gandhi's international travels and global political interactions, his team could not identify the correct national flag.

Trolls Flood Social Media

Soon after the post went viral, X users started heavily trolling Rahul Gandhi and his social media team.

One user wrote:

"Lekin Sweden ka flag kyu lagaya hua hai Mr. International Pappu"
Another X user mocked the Congress leader saying:

"RAHUL GANDHI'S SOCIAL MEDIA TEAM IS AS PAPPU AS HIM!

SHOWING NORWAY'S NARRATIVE WITH SWEDEN'S FLAG!
aise LOP banenge rahul baba!!"

Another viral comment read:

"Your Leader 'Rahul Gandhi' doesn't know how the flag of Norway looks like. So, he posted Flag of Sweden instead. And you want us to make him the PM🤣🤣"

One user also posted:

"Mr. Rahul Gandhi and his ecosystem members are also Pappu,
But instead of the Norwegian flag, the Swedish flag was placed behind PM Modi. 😂😂
Are bhai Mr Modi Mean PM of India Norway gye hue hai"

Another sarcastic post stated:

"Pappu is doing Pappu things. Showing sweeden flag instead of Norway"

Amit Malviya Reacts

BJP leader Amit Malviya also reacted to the controversy on X.

He wrote:
"Rahul Gandhi is a dud, and so is his social media team."
His reaction further intensified the political debate online, with BJP supporters amplifying the trolling against the Congress leader.

Political Message Overshadowed by Flag Error

The controversy began after reports emerged that Norway's sovereign wealth fund had dropped Adani Green Energy from its portfolio earlier this year. Around the same time, PM Modi visited Norway, marking the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister to the country in more than four decades.

Rahul Gandhi attempted to connect the two developments through his social media post. However, the flag mistake quickly became the centre of attention, overshadowing the political criticism he intended to make.

Social Media Mistakes Quickly Go Viral

The incident once again highlights how political leaders are constantly scrutinised online. In the age of social media, even small visual errors can become viral talking points within minutes.

Whether intentional or accidental, the Sweden-Norway flag confusion has now turned into a meme fest online, with trolls continuing to target Rahul Gandhi and his digital team over the mistake.
