Translating what he has said in the video, what he meant was, "First of all I would like to say that I don't need comedy any more. The big joke that they (BJP) lost Ayodhya is so funny that the joke is enough for me to enjoy for next five years. I won't need any comedy for minimum five years from now. I wakep up in the middle of the night at 2 am and suddenly my mind gets the thought of BJP's Ayodhya failure. I end up laughing for half an hour. My pet cats are also scared of me because I start laughing anytime of the day. I explain Ayodhya being the cause of my sudden laughter when people look at me curiously."
The video has attracted mixed reactions from Netizens while some have criticised him for mocking the Govt that is in power accusing him to be hired by Opposition for their own propaganda, while others have highlighted how BJP has lost the seat even in the years when Ram Mandir aandolan was at it peak.
