After Union Minister Nitin Gadkari questioned the intent of Maratha community in Maharashtra who are protesting for reservations by asking them where the jobs that they were protesting for were, Congress president Rahul Gandhi attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) by terming Gadkari an honest minister and asked “Where are the jobs” on Twitter.
However, while the Congress and its members are busy trending hashtags on social media, Gandhi certainly isn’t the one having the last laugh.
