Soon after the former Chancellor of Indian-origin Rishi Sunak
underwent huge trolling online when the spelling of the word ‘Campaign’ on the
banner behind him during his first television debate to pitch his candidature
for the next UK PM, surfaced. His response has now made the headline, "Ready
for spellcheck" which is in line with his slogan 'Ready for Rishi'.
Rishi was trolled amid heavy criticism over his tax moves
during the pandemic along with Akshata Murthy’s tax evasion case. Akshata is
the daughter of Infosys founder Narayana Murthy. Political Editor and Correspondent of Byline Times, Adam
Bienkov, informed about the case with a tweet while commenting, "Rishi
Sunak's closing statement boasting of his own "competence" and
"seriousness" would have been more effective were he not sitting in
front of a sign which misspells the word 'campaign'."
Twitterati started showering their creativity soon after the
news broke out, an anonymous Twitter user tagging Rishi Sunak commented, “@RishiSunak
the details man….apart from when it comes to spelling.”
Another user named Paul Maxin commented, “The unique thing
about Rishi Sunak’s campaign is…..the spelling. #fail #details #RishiSunak.
Apart
from all these developments in the virtual arena, in the race to succeed Boris
Johnson as the new PM, Sunak won the most votes. Mr. Sunak was on the top with
101 votes, followed by Trade Minister Penny Mordaunt on 83 votes and Foreign
Secretary Liz Truss on 64 votes.
