NDTV
The 25-second-long video, shows Mr Gandhi telling reporters, "Unfortunately, I am a Member of Parliament".
The BJP on Thursday took a dig at Rahul Gandhi, with various union ministers tweeting a video from the Congress leader's press conference in which senior party leader Jairam Ramesh is seen correcting him. Unfortunately, we are at a loss for words... pic.twitter.com/YZVk7mrlRt Truly unfortunate 🤐 pic.twitter.com/A7fEBQ4PHP The RW system is having a field day with my pointing out to @RahulGandhi that his statement's construct would be distorted by BJP's fake news machine. He clarified instantly. We speak freely to the media without teleprompters. This is another attempt to distract from Modani scam.
The 25-second-long video, shows Mr Gandhi telling reporters, "Unfortunately, I am a Member of Parliament", after which Mr Ramesh leans over and advises the Congress leader that his remarks can be turned into a "joke".
"Unfortunately, I am a Member of Parliament – they can make a joke," Mr Ramesh tells Mr Gandhi.
Rahul Gandhi then proceeds to corrects himself: "See, I want to make it clear, unfortunately for you, I am a Member of Parliament."
