Rajyavardhan Rathore mocks Rahul Gandhi for saying he is unaware of NCC and 'that kind of staff'

Union Minister and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore on Saturday took a jibe at Congress president Rahul Gandhi for his unawareness about National Cadet Corp (NCC).

Rahul while interacting with the students at Maharani Arts College for Women in Mysuru, Karnataka earlier today said that he doesn't know about the NCC certification.

Rathore took to Twitter and said, "......that type of stuff?!!!! Really?? Wow. Thousands of Indians like me, including PM @narendramodi ji, while in school and college were NCC cadets and @NCC_India taught us discipline, camaraderie and ?Service before Self. NCC will endure and survive."

During the interactive session, a student asked Rahul about the benefits to NCC Cadets if he/she passes the examination with 'C' certificate. Responding to the question, the Congress chief said that he is unaware of the details of the NCC training. "I don't know the details of NCC training and that type of stuff, so I won't be able to answer that question," he said. Rahul's response also gave fodder to the social media users who trolled the Congress chief.

Trollers swung into action after Gandhi said, "'I don't know the details of NCC training and that type of stuff, so I won't be able to answer that question." His response came after one of the students questioned, "What benefits will you give to NCC cadets after passing 'C' certificate examination?"One of the trollers said, "There is no ncc in Italy. "that type of stuffs"?? how ignorant are you! You talk about army, defence, etc. when u go to colleges, meet students, such questions are obvious. Not prepared", said another.

While few came out in support of the Gandhi scion, as one said, "He's honest so I don't think he's bad there are several leaders who noe nothing and still talk". Ahead of the election in the 224-member assembly in Karnataka, the state has witnessed frequent visits by national leaders, from both the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). While the ruling Congress is trying to retain power in Karnataka, the BJP is eyeing to seize the southern state from it.
