Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday posted a social media post on X featuring Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, playfully labeling him as a ‘tubelight.’ The shared poster, titled 'Fuse Tubelight,' adds, ‘Made in China, Congress Presents Rahul Gandhi in and as tubelight.’ Earlier on February 6, 2020, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had mocked Rahul Gandhi a 'tubelight' in Parliament and said, “I have been speaking for 30-40 minutes but it took this long for the current to reach. Many tubelights are like this," he said.

Earlier on Thursday, the Election Commission (EC) served a show-cause notice to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, citing his remarks such as “panauti," "pickpocket," and "loan waiver for the super-rich" directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The notice instructs Gandhi to provide a response by Saturday.
