Incidentally, a few days earlier, the Congress president was caught committing a gaffe while with the students of Stella Maris College in Chennai.
When asked what special quality Rahul gandhi imbibes from his mother, he replied that “when you are speaking to a person, look at the world not from your position, but look at the world from your position”.
