Rahul Gandhi's dog video evoked quite a reaction on Twitter.
In the recent past, tweets posted by Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi have often grabbed headlines. Speculations have rife on whether the Gandhi scion posts his tweets himself, or whether it is done by someone else.
On Sunday, Rahul took to Twitter to take a dig at those raising questions over his tweets. And interestingly, he did so by posting a video of his pet dog, displaying some antics.
Interestingly, it was the same dog which reportedly lost the Congress the state of Assam after a disgruntled Himanta Biswa Sarma left Congress and joined BJP.
Biswa Sarma, for the uninitiated was an ex-Congressman who left the party after being disillusioned with the Congress’ lackadaisical approach and helped Amit Shah and BJP win in Assam. The story goes that Biswa Sarma had gone to present his ideas to Congress VP for Assam elections but Rahul Gandhi was too busy playing with his dog. Sarma was quoted as saying: “Rahul turned and started playing with dog instead of listening to us. After I came out, I told Gogoi that it would be impossible for me to continue in the Congress.”
Here's how Twitter reacted to Rahul Gandhi’s tweets:
