The Republican Party of India(A)'s chief, Ramdas Athawale, took a poetic dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and I.N.D.I.A bloc. He said, "Rahul Gandhi aur I.N.D.I.A aghadi ko hogya hai dhoka. Isilye Narendra Modi ne dediya hai mujhey mantri banne ka mauka (Rahul and I.N.D.I.A bloc have been cheated. Narendra Modi has given me a chance to become the Minister.)"
