A microphone gaffe today involving Congress leaders, who were overheard discussing likely media questions following party vice president Rahul Gandhi's attack on dynastic politics, drew a swipe from Union Minister Smriti Irani.

"Comedy of errors? Dynasty ke statement par dynasty ke supporter kya bolein iss par gehen calculation" (Serious calculation over how supporters of dynasty should respond to statement on dynasty), she said on Twitter.

In a video of the Congress press conference put out by Irani, a party leader is heard speaking to its spokesperson Abhushek Manu Singhvi about Rahul Gandhi's comments targeting Telangana Chief Minister K C Rao.
 

He is also heard on microphone telling Singhvi that nobody from the Gandhi family has been in power since Rajiv Gandhi, apparently a suggestion to counter questions on Gandhi's dynasty jibe at Rao.

"It is an irony that a member of the Gandhi family, which is the biggest example of the dynasty politics in India, is accusing another leader of promoting dynasty," BJP's media department head Anil Baluni said.

Addressing a rally in Telngana yesterday, Gandhi had accused Rao of promoting family rule in the state.
