Modi mimicry at Rahul event: Comic Pulkit Mani says Lucknow, Kanpur shows cancelled
Stand-up comic Pulkit Mani has cancelled his upcoming shows in Lucknow and Kanpur, following his impersonation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ event in Indore. The incident sparked a political uproar, with political leaders from both sides condemning the performance. Mani, who has a significant following on social media platforms, claimed the cancellation was due to threats from goon activists.
The performance, which included a skit where Mani mimicked Modi’s mannerisms, particularly the line "Maa ko kursi do, maa," led to accusations of political mockery and insult to India's values.
