Narendra Modi mixes ‘Kochi’ with ‘Karachi’, says mind ‘occupied with Pakistan these days’
Narendra Modi.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Monday, while addressing a public meeting in Gujarat’s Jamnagar, sent the gathering into a laughter after he made a gaffe and mixed up “Kochi” with “Karachi”.
This speech error happened while the prime minister was talking about the Centre pet Ayushman Bharat scheme after inaugurating a 700-bed annex building of Guru Govind Singh Hospital. Modi said the health insurance scheme allowed a resident of Jamnagar to avail treatment anywhere in the country, be it “Kolkata” or “Karachi”.
Modi said, “Under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, if a resident of Jamnagar has gone to Bhopal and falls sick, he need not come back to Jamnagar for treatment. If he shows his (Ayushman Bharat) beneficiary card, he will get free treatment even in Kolkata and even in Karachi.”
However, Modi was quick to realize the error and covered it up by saying that his “mind was preoccupied with Pakistan these days”.
