Former Delhi Congress MLA Surender Kumar on Sunday made a gaffe at a public meeting when he mixed up the names of Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Bollywood actor Priyanka Chopra.

 

In the clipping by news agency ANI , the party leader can be seen and heard shouting slogans of ‘Priyanka Gandhi zindabad’, ‘Sonia Gandhi zindabad’, and ‘Rahul Gandhi zindabad’, to which the supporters respond enthusiastically.

However, in a faux pas, the sloganeer blurts out ‘Priyanka Chopra zindabad’.

Following this #PriyankaChopra trended with over 5,000 tweets on social media.

Later, the leader apologised for his mistake, according to sources.
