Rubika Liyaquat is deemed a sensational anchor and media icon these days. Her fiery perspectives and unapologetic stances are appreciated by the masses! Recently, the anchor got into a social media skirmish with none other than the CON party scion Rahul Gandhi!
The Congress Yuvraaj, famous for ensuring electoral defeats rather than wins, engaged in snarky remarks on Rubika Liyaquat, left-handedly. The remark not only abused Rubika Liyaquat but also twisted and dragged the interview byte granted to her by PM Modi into the gutter. Let’s explore!

During a rally, Rahul Gandhi made an attempt to be smart and quick-witted. How? The man took potshots at an interview conducted by Rubika Liyaquat with PM Modi. Gandhi attempted to discredit the interview byte and the anchor herself. Although he did not name names, he called the anchor of the interview a chamachi. This ridiculous name assigned by Pappu was aimed to showcase Rubika Liyaquat as a sycophant! Thereafter, RaGa tried to twist PM Modi’s words about his purpose and energy to serve the nation.
Rahul Gandhi tried to sarcastically mock PM Modi’s spiritual reflection on his life’s purpose, which he believes is his source of energy. He deliberately misrepresented the byte-sized interaction to present that the PM claims divine birth rather than a biological one!! However, fans of Rubika Liyaquat and PM Modi did not buy the balderdash! They all understood that PM Modi was articulating his belief that his birth and journey in life were part of a divine plan to serve Bharat. And they knew that PM Modi worships the common man of the nation as a manifestation of his God!! This nuanced sentiment on Sanatni’s spirituality was too complicated by the LeLi Gang and RaGa! Thus, they twisted the interview into fodder for ridicule and abused the anchor!!!
Rubika Liyaquat’s Fiery Clapback
राहुल गांधी जी… ‘चमची-चमचा वातावरण’ से बाहर निकलिए…उस ज़माने को गुज़रे बरसों हो गए हैं…क्या हुआ आपकी मुहब्बत की दुकान का? न भाषा में संयम, न मर्यादा.. इतनी कुंठा क्यूँ?
दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण है कि आपके सलाहकारों ने आपको राजनेता की बजाए troller बना दिया।
पीएम ने अब तक 71… pic.twitter.com/afy3vkHBMU

Rubika Liyaquat, never one to back down, responded with a sharp and witty retort on Twitter to Gandhi’s critique! She pointed out that the Congress scion is acting more like a troll than a politician. Thereafter, she highlighted that PM Modi had participated in 71 interviews. Each interview tackled a wide range of tough questions from domestic inflation to international relations. Finally, Rubika Liyaquat underscored that journalists have a duty to ask probing questions and the ones in India have done theirs very well!
In her tweet, she wrote, “Rahul Gandhi ji, it’s time to move beyond this ‘sycophant’ mindset. The era you’re stuck in has long passed.” She questioned if the twisted interview was an example of Rahul Gandhi’s Mohabbat Ki Dukaan. Moreover, she questioned the lack of restraint in language and decorum. Rubika Liyaquat inquired if this is all because of rising frustrations at an obvious loss in elections!!! And she finished her trolling by expressing regret that it was unfortunate that RaGa’s advisors turned him into a troll rather than a politician!!! As punch lines go, that was one that should have hit below the belt!!!
In Summary
Rubika Liyaquat made sure that Rahul Gandhi would remember her name next time. Her spirited defense of her journalistic integrity spotlighted the absurdity of Gandhi’s remarks. And she emphasized the critical role of journalism in democracy, despite the backlash Rubika herself faces from hardliners within her faith for presenting unbiased views that occasionally support PM Modi. Her comments to RaGa triggered many LeLi gang members. This morning Rubika mocked these august trollers also!!!
एक ट्वीट ही तो किया है, ऐसा क्यों लग रहा है…मानो खौलता हुआ तेल डाल दिया हो…
उफ़्फ़ ख़ुदाया 😁 बेचारों पर रहम करना

This short Twitter battle serves as a reminder of the often blurred lines between political discourse and personal attacks. While Rahul Gandhi attempts to malign and undermine the Modi Wave, his sarcastic commentary often falls flat. Rubika Liyaquat’s response highlights the importance of professional and personal respect in a free press. Journalists, like Liyaquat, continue to ask the hard questions and uphold the integrity of their profession. Although her line of questioning in this interview bytes was short and quaint, the answers reveal the heart of the man who has brought fame to Bharst’s name!!
Thus, Gandhi’s diversion tactics only underscore his failure to grab the essence of any speech. Moreover, it highlights his inability to be witty on the stage of politics. Therefore, let’s take a minute to enjoy the schooling served by Rubika to Rahul Gandhi and his cabal on Twitter!!!
