New Delhi Nov 1 (IANS) Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday mocked at Finance Minister Arun Jaitley with the spoof of a Ghalib couplet saying everyone knows the "reality" of ease of doing business in India but "Dr Jaitley" prefers to delude himself.
"Sabko maaloom hai ease of doing business ki haqeeqat; khud ko khush rakhne ke liye Dr Jaitley khayal achha hai " Gandhi tweeted.
The Congress leader with his new and humorous avatar on the social media tweaked Urdu poet Ghalib s famous couplet: "Hum ko maloom hai jannat ki haqeeqat lekin; dil ke khush rakhne ko Ghalib ye khayal achcha hai" (We know the reality of Paradise O Ghalib; but to keep the heart happy about it this idea is good).
Jaitley immediately shot back at Gandhi pointing out the difference between the Congress-led UPA and BJP-led NDA governments.
"The difference between the UPA and NDA -- the ease of doing corruption has been replaced by the ease of doing business " the Finance Minister tweeted apparently in reply to Gandhi s tweet that was re-tweeted more than 4 000 times attracted nearly 2 500 comments and 9 000 likes within four hours of the post.
On the other hand Jaitley s tweet had 720 comments was liked by 1 700 tweeter users and retweeted 720 times within an hour of his reply to the Congress leader.
