“Congress Party ko desh se nikalo” (Make the Congress Party leave India) – are the words Rahul Gandhi is heard saying in a video spoofing his All India Congress Committee speech on January 17, 2014. Rohit Iyengar, a young film student in the United States of Americacreated the spoof video by “auto-tuning” the speech to sound like a song being sung by the Gandhi scion. Uploaded on YouTube on January 20, 2014, the video begins with the disclaimer – “Words in the speech have been taken out of context for comic purposes”.
What followed, though, is far from comic.
