A representative of the Bharatiya Janata Party used Robert Vadras tribute to the late physicist Stephen Hawking to take a dig at Congress president Rahul Gandhi.

Hawking passed away early on Wednesday, following which several people paid tribute to him on social media.

Vadra, who is Rahuls brother-in-law, paid tribute to physicist on Twitter.

Following Vadras tweet, Priti Gandhi, who goes by the Twitter handle Mrs Gandhi and has claimed affiliation with the BJP, used part of a quote in the tweet, I am just a child who has never grown up, to ask whether he was referring to Rahul. Tagging Vadra, she asked him whether he was trolling Rahul.
