Robert Vadra After voting in the Lok Sabha elections Phase 6 in Delhi, Robert Vadra – the brother-in-law of Congress president Rahul Gandhi – on Sunday took to Twitter to post a photograph of him with the inked finger. It was accompanied by an inspirational message and an emoji of the tricolor.
However, the colors in the flag were red, blue and white – that of the Paraguay flag.
Soon after getting businessman’s post, netizens took no time to troll Vadra for this faux pas. Some called Robert Vadra a Paraguayan citizen.

Soon afterward, Robert Vadra tried to make amends by tweeting out a second post with the Indian tricolor. The original post was deleted, but screenshots of the tweet continued to circulate on social media. The Paraguay flag also began trending on Twitter.
Later, Robert Vadra tweeted another photograph of him holding a Tricolour along with a caption admitting to the mistake in the earlier post.
