Amethi: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra created a buzz on social media when she clamped her mouth in shock after someone from among a bunch of children used an expletive to target Prime Minister Narendra Modi, reports NDTV.
Priyanka Gandhi was campaigning in her brother Rahul Gandhi’s constituency of Amethi on Tuesday when she came across a bunch of children apparently schooled to recite Congress-friendly slogans before her.
“Chowkidar chor hai, chowkidar chor hai,” said the children, reciting Rahul Gandhi’s catchphrase this election season to target Prime Minister Narendra Modi on alleged corruption in the Rafale deal.
Priyanka looked on, nodding approvingly until the children let out an expletive. The Congress leader, her eyes widened, stopped them, saying: “Yeh wala nahin. Accha nahin lagega. Acche bachche bano (Not this one. It is not nice. Be good children).”
The boys then started shouting: “Rahul Gandhi zindabad.”

Sharing the video, Union Minister Smriti Irani said: “Uncouth to the core. Imagine the filthiest of abuses that a Prime Minister has to endure from people whose only claim to fame is a nose. Lutyens outrage anyone????”
It was pointed out on Twitter that the Union Minister’s video stopped before Priyanka Gandhi was seen shutting the children down.
Many others praised the Congress leader for stopping the children from abusing the Prime Minister, who is known to be one of the sharpest critics of the Gandhis.
AAP leader Alka Lamba posted: “I love her reaction… N Good She has Guided n Stopped the Children at the right time…”
