New Delhi: On Tuesday Congress leader Rahul Gandhi hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi  for his "Abki Baar Trump Sarkar" remark at the "Howdy, Modi!" event. He said it reflected his "incompetence". He thanked External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar for "covering up" Modi's "incompetence" and asked him to teach  prime minister "a little bit about diplomacy".

Rahul tweeted: "Thank you Mr Jaishankar for covering up our PM's incompetence. His fawning endorsement caused serious problems with the Democrats for India. I hope it gets ironed out with your intervention. While you're at it, do teach him a little bit about diplomacy,"
