The Uttar Pradesh unit of the Congress party has conducted a written test and interviewed candidates for its new media team in the state, introducing a system in UP the party had tried in Gujarat and Karnataka.
The move prompted its main political rival BJP to take a jibe at the Congress party and term the test a "joke".
UP BJP spokesperson Chandramohan said in a statement: "When people have rejected Congress president Rahul Gandhi in every examination, then what will the spokespersons do."
"If someone asks me such questions I will also have to think for answers."
