Following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s swearing-in, a picture surfaced on the internet in which Congress President Rahul Gandhi can be seen taking the oath with Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala.
The caption of the picture read: “सभी मंत्री शपथ लेकर घर चले गए बाद में राहुल गांधी ने भी ले ली प्रधानमंत्री की शपथ 😁😬😂”
