Minister Calls Rahul Gandhi ‘Moron’ for ‘Modilies’ Tweet

Bangalore: Union Minister Anantkumar Hegde stoked Friday a controversy by calling Congress president Rahul Gandhi a ‘moron’ for his tweet that ‘Modilies’ is a new word in the English dictionary.

In a tweet, the Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship said, “This moron @RahulGandhi is hell bent on proving himself that he is one of his own kind of international idiotic skill master and hence the horizons have extended beyond the boundaries. No one can prevent his growth…Amazing…!!!!”

Rahul had tweeted Wednesday that there was a new word in the English dictionary and even attached a snapshot of a photoshopped page.

“There’s a new word in the English Dictionary. Attached is a snapshot of the entry ‘:) ‘Modilie’ is a new word that’s become popular worldwide. Now there’s even a website that catalogues the best Modilies!” Rahul had tweeted.

The snapshot shows that ‘Modilies’ means to constantly modify the truth, to lie incessantly and habitually and to lie without respite. The snapshot also showed how to use this word in sentences.

A rebuttal came from the Twitter handle of Oxford Dictionaries. It said the snapshot was fake and no such words exist in any of the Oxfords dictionaries.

“We can confirm that the image showing the entry ‘Modilies’ is fake and does not exist in any of our Oxford Dictionaries,” Oxford Dictionaries tweeted.

Meanwhile Hegde claimed his Twitter account was ‘hacked’ when asked to comment on his remarks about Nathuram Godse.Union Minister Anantkumar Hegde stoked Friday a controversy by calling Congress president Rahul Gandhi a ‘moron’ for his tweet that ‘Modilies’ is a new word in the English dictionary.
