Rahul Gandhi has sparked outrage of sorts across India by dozing off in Parliament (Lok Sabha) when a huge discussion was going on over the controversies generated by the beating up of Dalit youths in Gujarat's Una over a dead cow, and thereafter by the shocking comments of former senior BJP leader against Mayawati. However, Rahul managed to maintain his 'head-down' position even as MPs were heard shouting slogans against the government and Mayawati herself slammed the BJP leader in no uncertain terms. But that did not seem to faze Gandhi at all. However, he did have some important business to transact and VIPs to meet thereafter. Check it out here:
