NEW DELHI: A student named Rahul Modi who appeared for the UPSC Civil Services Exam scored 420 rank as per the results declared on Tuesday and took internet by storm.
Given the current political landscape of India dotted by the two bigwigs Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his rival Rahul Gandhi, the portmanteau name of the student is enough to catch eyeballs.
But the fun did not stop here as the rank scored by the student adds more zest to the coincidence which looks like was made for social media memes.
The numbers '420' are read as 'chaar sau bees' in Hindi and are metaphorically used to describe a trickster.
