The Wrong Rally.
In college at the students union elections we once had the pleasure of seeing a candidate run into the lecture theatre during a break, give a 30-second stump speech, run out, and (accidentally), run in the other door to the same theatre, give the same speech to the same class, and leave without realising his mistake.
But at least this was college politics, and a friendly audience. It takes a government minister to stand up in front of a rally of his opponents supporters and accidentally denounce them ... (Wrong rally blunder in India poll, thanks to the BBC).
