Yesterday was a big day for India as Chandrayaan-3 did a soft-landing on the Moon and India became the first country to land on the south pole of the Moon and overall the fourth country to reach the Moon. There is no denying the fact that a big credit for this achievement goes to the scientists and ISRO but it can’t be denied that such big missions can’t be carried out without the support of the government and some credit also goes to the political leadership of the country.

However, the opposition parties of India are in no mood to give even a little bit of credit to PM Modi and his government for providing support to ISRO in carrying out this mission. In fact, in a bid to take away all the credit from the current government, some political leaders have been making funny statements and one such statement is being made by the Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamta Banerjee.

During an event, Mamta Banerjee said, “On behalf of the people of West Bengal, I send my advance congratulations to ISRO. Scientists must get credit. Credit must go to the country. When Rakesh Roshan landed on the Moon, former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi asked him how India looked from there.”

First of all, it was Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma and not Bollywood celebrity Rakesh Roshan and secondly, he didn’t go to the Moon, he went to space.

Soon the Indian online users started reacting on this matter, here are some selected tweets:

Indian political leaders certainly need to increase their IQ levels, what do you say?
