Soon after the Congress Twitter handle posted the tweet informing the people about the inauguration, many users started suggesting Rahul Gandhi be the first patient to enrol himself at the facility to provide a boost to the hospital.
Good work!? Who better than Shri #RahulGandhi – our National icon for addiction & damaged mental health- to inaugurate a De-addiction & Psychiatry hospital…that too in his own constituency! Would be a huge boost to the hospital if Rahul gets admitted as it’s first patient. ?

One Twitter user suggested that the psychiatry department will be useful for not just Rahul Gandhi but several other Congress supporters.
Much needed rehabilitation center for several @INCIndia Bhakts !!!

Many people have raised aspersions on the mental acuity of Rahul Gandhi following his embarrassing gaffes and socially tactless remarks in his political rallies. He recently invented a new number- “Dhai Hazaar Panch Sau” in an election rally in poll-bound Jharkhand. Gandhi is also famous for conjuring up another mathematical numeral “Pichatees” while speaking about the unemployment figures in the country.
In fact, there was a Wikileaks cable that asserted that ‘influential columnist and political insider’ Saeed Naqvi claims that it was increasingly common knowledge among Congress insiders that Rahul suffers from “personality problems” of an emotional or psychological nature that are severe enough to prevent him from functioning as PM.
This is not enough, Rahul’s poor grasp of political issues also added to his image of someone who is suffering from a chronic mental illness. His repeated allegations of wrongdoing in Rafale deal despite Supreme Court’s verdict stating no malfeasance was observed and his stubborn refusal to come to terms with it only reinforced his perception of being a mentally weak politician.
