Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling him a “pickpocket” and a “panauti”.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling him a “pickpocket” and a “panauti” again shows that he is not meant for a polish society,he can only make comments which also places the reference correctly,” Angoor gane ko nehi mila toh Angoor khatta hai”
On November 21, after India’s World Cup loss, Gandhi said at a rally in Balotra, “Panauti… panauti…Achha bhalaa hamare ladke wahaan World Cup jeetne waale the, par panauti harwaa diya. TV waale ye nahin kahenge magar janta jaanti hai (Our boys were going to win the World Cup, but panauti got them defeated. TV channels will not say this but the public knows).”
The Election Commission (EC) on Thursday issued a showcause notice to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling him a “pickpocket” and a “panauti”. Both remarks were made during election rallies in Rajasthan.
The EC, in its notice, said that the use of “panauti” falls under the definition of corrupt practice, as per the Representation of the People Act, 1951, as attempts to make an elector believe that he or she “will become or will be rendered an object of divine displeasure or spiritual censure”.
But how is panauti understood in common parlance?
In popular culture, panauti is now commonly used for any person, situation, or period that seems full of worries and reverses.
The word panuti refers to a phase of hard times that begins in a person’s life due to the movement of Shani dev, or saturn. In Vedic astrology, a person’s rashi is determined by the position occupied by the Moon at the time of birth. Whatever rashi the Moon was in when a person was born becomes that person’s rashi.
Panuti and saadhe-saati (a seven-and-half year period of difficulties) are triggered when Saturn moves into certain specific positions with respect to your birth rashi.
