New Delhi, Nov 16: Congress today came out in defence of its party general secretary Rahul Gandhi and said his remark at the Phoolpur rally - "will you go to beg in Maharashtra" - was a metaphoric flourish and was torn out of context.
Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi said: "Rahul Gandhi was in fact lauding the people of Uttar Pradesh for their talent and being hardworking in Mumbai, Delhi and Punjab.
"He wanted to convey that the people of UP were leaving the state for work because of terrible mis-governance, but his remark was torn out of context", Singhvi said.
