New word called Modilie in Oxford dictionary, claims Rahul Gandhi tweeting morphed image

New Delhi: In yet another major embarrassment for Congress chief Rahul Gandhi, the Oxford dictionaries on Thursday official debunked his claim of the newly coined English word 'Modilie' and said there is no such word. Calling out the Congress president, the Oxford Dictionary said, "We can confirm that the image showing the entry ‘Modilie’ is fake and does not exist in any of our Oxford Dictionaries."

On Wednesday, while taking a dig at PM Narendra Modi, Rahul took to his Twitter handle to post a picture which he claimed was a snapshot of Oxford dictionary that has included a new word in the English language called 'Modilie'. The screenshot suggested that the word refers to a person who constantly modifies the truth. Other meanings of the word is to "lie incessantly and habitually and to lie without respite".

Responding to the development, BJP MP GVL Narasimha Rao attacked the Congress president, saying that nobody is taking Rahul Gandhi seriously and he has become a troll on social media. He went on to add that the Congress party's election campaigning has regenerated to a cheap level in the 2019 polls.
