However, taking a jibe at the Congress leader, Badal later clarified that she wasn’t smiling in appreciation but in sarcasm.
She said that Rahul came to Punjab calling them 'Nashedi' (addicts), so she gestured at him asking “kaun sa karke aaye hain aaj? (what has he consumed today?).
She said: “after watching Rahul’s drama, during the adjournment I asked him and his mother in gesture what has the person who calls us ‘nashedi’ consumed today? They saw me smiling but they did not understand what I was actually suggesting?”
She further said that "We have all watched Rahul Gandhi speaking all these years, but this drama was a novelty."
She also said that she didn't have an idea that it would be earthquake of laughter. Rahul Gandhi enacted a scene from Munna Bhai but he failed Amitabh Bachchan in acting.
