Congress MLA Surender Kumar brought huge embarrassment to his party on Sunday after he mistakenly referred to Priyanka Gandhi as 'Priyanka Chopra'. Kumar was addressing a public rally during which he was to cheer for Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, but he mistakenly called her as 'Priyanka Chopra'.
The video of the rally has gone viral on social media wherein the three-time MLA from Bawana can be heard saying, "Sonia Gandhi Zindabad (long-lived), Congress Party Zindabad, Rahul Gandhi Zindabad, Priyanka Chopra Zindabad."
Soon after realising his mistake, Kumar apologised and corrected himself and said, "Priyanka Gandhi Zindabad".
Meanwhile, Akali Dal leader and MLA from Rajouri Garden, Manjinder Singh Sirsa took a dig at Congress leader and said, "In the Congress rally, slogans are being raised for Priyanka Chopra. It seems the whole party is Pappu."
Twitterati too got the opportunity to pull the leg of the Congress leader.
In 2017 by-polls, Kumar lost to AAP's Ram Chander.
