In Chhattisgarh, the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party released a footage of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's slip of the tongue during a speech on the penultimate day of his party's 85th plenary session, in which he identified "satyagarh" as the way to "satta" (power).


Gandhi, on the other hand, corrected it instantly and stated that it meant "never leave the road of "satya" (truth).


Former minister and state BJP spokesperson Rajesh Munat tweeted the footage and requested Gandhi to learn the concept, pronunciation and expression of 'satyagrah'. “Learn the meaning, pronunciation and expression of Satyagraha @RahulGandhi ji! Don't teach us! @BJP4India has done satyagraha against the policies of Congress for many years along with the people of the country. What was on your mind, by mistake it came out through your words..Congress has only one mantra 'never leave the path of power'," he tweeted in hindi.

"Mahatma Gandhi talked about satyagrah," Gandhi remarked in his address. "What does it mean? Satyagrah is to never abandon the path to 'satta' (power). Oh, it means never forsake the road of truth," he amended himself instantly.  


"We (Congress) are satyagrahi and they are 'sattagrahi'. They can do anything for power. They can collude with anyone and bow down before anyone for power. This is their truth..,” Gandhi claimed.


The Congress is holding its 85th plenary session at Nava Raipur, Chhattisgarh.
