Moreover, Republic Bharat found it worth mentioning that Gandhi had made similar mistakes in the past when he measured the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatoday.in\/fact-check\/video\/fact-check-video-rahul-gandhi-used-litre-for-flour-but-immediately-corrected-himself-1996736-2022-09-05\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">price of flour in litres<\/a> and spoke about making <a href=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/potato-gold-machine-remark-revived-to-mock-rahul-gandhi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gold from potatoes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-142704\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/01\/chrome_9JMVBifaMW.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1306\" height=\"1391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/01\/chrome_9JMVBifaMW.jpg 1306w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/01\/chrome_9JMVBifaMW-282x300.jpg 282w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/01\/chrome_9JMVBifaMW-961x1024.jpg 961w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/01\/chrome_9JMVBifaMW-768x818.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1306px) 100vw, 1306px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Taking a cue from this, we looked for the full speech by Gandhi.
