CM Saini roasts Rahul over Oct 1 jalebi remark

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini took a jab at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi by stating that people prefer the local jalebi from Matu Ram halwai in Gohana over factory-made versions.

“In Haryana, the local jalebi from Matu Ram in Gohana is popular, not the factory-made ones,” Saini posted on X in Hindi after visiting the renowned jalebi shop in Gohana, near Sonipat, where he tried his hand at making jalebi.

About a month ago, during an election rally in Gohana, Gandhi had mentioned Matu Ram halwai while holding a box of sweets, claiming it was the best jalebi he had ever tasted.
