Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Reactions as Pappu Rahul Gandhi said he is fighting against Hindus goddess during his speech as he said: “We are fighting against a Shakti, which is a word in Hindu religion”.
Taking a swipe at the BJP and its leaders including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress president Rahul Gandhi has referred to himself as “Pappu” on a few occasions in recent months to drive a point that he represented a polite and civilised face of politics unlike the ruling party. But the word has stuck with for over five years.
Pappu became a mock-name for Rahul Gandhi in the run up to the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. The BJP leaders, workers and a committed band of supporters made sure that even a Google search for “Pappu” returned with the profile of Rahul Gandhi. And, if one goes by the talks in reporters’ corridor, the term originated in the old guard of the Congress leadership, some of whom had once welcomed Sonia Gandhi in 1998-99 as “Gudiya”.
