Congress Leader Sacked For Calling Rahul Gandhi “Pappu”

The Congress leader claimed that the message was not sent by him and alleged that he was being maligned.

Meerut’s Congress district president, Vinay Pradhan, was sacked from the party for allegedly addressing Rahul Gandhi as “Pappu” on a party’s local WhatsApp group.

An image shared on social medai shows Pradhan repeatedly referring to party’s vice-resident as “Pappu”, in a message meant to laud his recent attempt to visit Mandsaur following the death of protesting farmers, The Times of India reported.

“Rahul Gandhi is also known as Pappu by a section of people in this country. People of this country are witness to the fact that Pappu has never taken to a lavish lifestyle,” the WhatsApp message reads.
