Gravity, Maths, Einstein & Newton Memes Sprout Online After Piyush Goyal's Gaffe
It seems a lot of BJP leaders are working hard to give the internet a lot of memes to feed on. We'd hardly recovered from Nirmala Sitaraman¡¯s comment that millennials taking Uber and Ola cabs were responsible for the slowdown in the automobile industry when Piyush Goyal made another statement that was pure gold.
The Railways, Commerce and Industries Minister was asked questioned about the country¡¯s crumbling economy at an event and this is what he said, "Don¡¯t get into the calculations on the television that say for $5 Trillion Economy, the country will have to grow at 12%, today it is at 6%. Don¡¯t get into these maths. Maths never helped Einstein discover Gravity.¡±
Apparently General Knowledge was not Mr Goyal¡¯s favorite subject. If it was he would have known that it was Newton, not Einstein, who discovered gravity. AND both Newton and Einstein used mathematics extensively in their work.
Netizens were quick to catch the blunder Piyush Goyal made and he is being roasted since. Even though he later issued a statement saying his comments were ¡°taken out of context,¡± there is no way he could undo the damage.
Union Minister Piyush Goyal's clarification on his recent comments: The comment that I made had a certain context. Unfortunately some friends have sought to remove the context, pickup one line and create a very mischievous narrative. https://t.co/34nn1x3IlS pic.twitter.com/iK7UyU8Q12
