Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi lost his cool on Wednesday and claimed on camera that people were dying left and right in this country.
The Congress leader was on a visit to the Kaili village at Haryana where two Dalit children had been burnt alive. He said the arson attack on the Dalit family was a result of "saffron policies".
After visiting the affected family he had a brief interaction with the media when a reporter asked him if he saw the tragedy as a photo opportunity.
Rahul Gandhi got visibly angry and said that was not the case as people were dying left and right in the country. Perhaps realising that he had overstated the case, he corrected himself. People are being beaten up left and right in the country, he said.
