However, the embarrassing moment was good enough for BJP leaders and trolls to attack him fiercely.

Earlier, addressing the 'Mehngai Par Halla bol rally' at Ramlila Maidan on Sunday, Rahul Gandhi attacked the BJP-led Central government and said fear and hate were on the rise in the country since the party came into power.

"The condition of the country is known to all. Since the BJP came to power, hate, violence and fear are on the rise in the country.

"Hate is the incarnation of fear. The hate takes shape in those who fear something. Those who don't fear have no sense of hate," Rahul Gandhi said.
