What actually happened
The viral clip originates from Delhi Chief Minister Atishi's speech at the Excellence in Education Awards event held at Thyagaraj Stadium.
While the faux pas is going viral, in the full speech, Atishi corrects herself just moments later.
During her full address, she praised the accomplishments of prominent Indian figures like Sundar Pichai (Google CEO), Satya Nadella (Microsoft CEO), Parag Agrawal (ex-Twitter CEO), and Ajay Banga (World Bank President), emphasising the global impact of Indian leadership.
Atishi also made an important point on India's developmental status, questioning, "Why are we still a developing nation?"
She attributed this to prioritisation gaps, particularly focusing on education compared to infrastructure projects.
The event itself celebrated academic success, honouring 207 students from Class 10 and Class 12 across government and private schools for their exceptional achievements.
