Prime Minister Narendra Modi's use of ‘balak budhi’ to describe Rahul Gandhi during the debate on the President’s address to parliament may be seen may be seen as an NDA-complaint derivative of the derisive ‘Pappu’ jibe used by BJP leaders in the early phases of the Gandhi scion’s political career. The new term, crafted to denigrate Rahul Gandhi, carries unmistakable echoes of the past era when the BJP coined the derogatory ‘Pappu’ usage to ridicule him during his early political forays.
