Rahul Gandhi provides wrong calculation in question to BJP
New Delhi, Dec 5 (IBNS): With just few days left for the state poll, Congress' present Vice President and would be President, Rahul Gandhi, made a faux pas by providing wrong calculation in his question to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Twitter.
Rahul, who is regularly putting one question each day to the BJP on Twitter, reportedly miscalculated the percentage of inflation.

In a list where the Congress Vice President has provided the increases in cost of various items were found to be 100% more than the actual figure.
While the cost of gas cylinder is expected to be 77% as per the list provided by Rahul, it is written as 177%.
Likely, the percentage of costs of pulses, tomatoes, onion, milk and diesel were all written as 100% more than the actual figure.
Later the Congress VP has deleted the tweet.
Both Rahul and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have been campaigning hard in Gujarat, which will go to poll on Dec 9 and Dec 14.
The counting of votes is scheduled to take place on Dec 18.
The BJP is in power in Gujarat since 1995.
