Panauti Kaun? Ex Cricketer Danish Kaneria Slams Congress' Rahul Gandhi, Asks Who's Unlucky?

Former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria on Sunday hit out hard at the Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, who had pointed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi (without taking his name) of being unlucky (Paunauti) for Team India after the men in blue had lost to Australia in the ICC Cricket World Cup finals. Kaneria wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "Panauti Kaun?" (who is unlucky now?). The statement from the legend came after the assembly results for Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh were announced in favor of PM Modi's BJP.

Former cricketer, who was once known for spinning the ball, played well with his words without taking anyone's name. But his followers pointed the tweet directly to Rahul Gandhi. A meme fest has also been started after the BJP's thumping victory in three states.

Congress failed to save its forts in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan, while clinched Telangana from KCR.

What did Rahul Gandhi say?

While addressing an election rally in Rajasthan, Rahul Gandhi used the word 'Panauti' against PM Modi. Rahul had said in his rally, 'Team India was playing well, but Panauti defeated India (Ache bhale hamare ladke waha pe World Cup jeet jaate, par panauti harwa diya).

BJP's CT Ravi also replied to Rahul Gandhi's Panauti remark with a post stating "Who is the biggest Panauti?' He moved a step ahead of Danish Kanerai by tagging the Congress party and MP Rahul Gandhi in his tweet.
