BJP calls Congress leader’s remarks “gibberish”
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, currently touring Colombia, left audiences puzzled with yet another bizarre analogy — this time comparing the weight of motorcycles and cars to make a point about electric mobility. The BJP hit back, calling his explanation “blabber” and “gibberish.”
At a seminar in EIA University, Gandhi asked students why a motorcycle weighing about 100 kg can carry two passengers while a car weighing 3,000 kg carries just one. His explanation, however, raised more eyebrows than answers.
According to Gandhi, the issue lies in the engine. He claimed that in a motorcycle accident, the engine “flies out” and doesn’t hurt the rider, while in a car, the engine can kill passengers unless the vehicle is designed to prevent it.
“In a motorcycle, when you have an impact, the engine is separated from you. In a car, when you have an impact, the engine comes into the car. So, the car is designed to stop the engine from killing you,” Gandhi said, before concluding that electric vehicles are the real solution.
BJP hits back: “Pure gibberish”
BJP’s IT and media cell head Amit Malviya ridiculed the statement, saying: “I haven’t heard this much gibberish in one go. If anyone can decode what Rahul Gandhi is trying to say here, I would be glad to be enlightened. But if you are as amused as I am, rest assured, you are not alone.”
Party leaders suggested that Gandhi was once again trying to look intellectual abroad, only to embarrass himself and India with “half-baked” theories.
Pattern of confusion
This is not the first time Gandhi has tried to link automobile design with politics. Earlier this year, he had likened electric vehicles to “decentralisation of power,” arguing that traditional engines represent centralised authority.
The BJP dismissed such remarks as an attempt to mask political messaging in pseudo-scientific jargon. A senior leader said, “Rahul Gandhi goes abroad and blabbers on topics he has little understanding of. His comments confuse students, embarrass India, and once again expose why he is unfit to be taken seriously — either on policy or politics.”
