Gujarat Confidential: ‘Harsh' horse remark
BJP Porbandar MLA Arjun Modhwadia, who is also a former Congress leader, hit out at Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, saying that the latter allegedly insulted his party workers by comparing them with horses. Modhwadia took to X to express his displeasure and wrote: 'I was the president of @INCGujarat in 2014, at that time Honorable @RahulGandhi ji gave a speech in the Rajkot workers' meeting titled 'Race horse and procession horse'. He has been repeating the same point in every speech till date. Even after so many years, the race horse has not been identified! This means that the rider himself does not know the horse and keeps cursing the horse when he loses! Irrespective of the party, calling a worker a 'baraat ka ghoda' or 'lame horse' is an insulting remark.' In an address in Madhya Pradesh on Tuesday, Gandhi had said that there is a third type of horse — a lame horse — which has to retire and that if it does not, then action would be taken.
IPL flypast
The Jamsaheb of Nawanagar (now Jamnagar) has congratulated Royal Challengers Bengaluru team on their maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) victory. The Jamsaheb said that the highlight of the evening on Tuesday, when the final match was held, was the flypast displayed by the Indian Air Force, stating that it was executed with 'perfection'. He, however, added, that it was a pity that there was no announcement about the squadron of the Indian Air Force or the aircraft, which were part of the 'mindboggling wonderful flypast'.
