“Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi has been tweeting for some time now. Twitter is a medium where you raise your voice,” said Congress spokesperson R.P.N. Singh.

“Satire is also a good form of reaching out to the people. It makes it more interesting. I think the Office of the (Congress) Vice President has used it to good effect and it is something which is resonating with the people of this country because he has been raising the very issues which touch the people of this country.

“The people are completely aware that this is what the problem with this country is and the Prime Minister (Narendra Modi)’s false promises… people have lost patience. And that is why there is so much resonance,” he added.

Singh said on Twitter, Congress leaders have always used language which is above board and “we never hit below the belt or used words which are defamatory. The bad language that we see are continuously used by BJP leaders against Rahul Gandhi or our senior leaders”.
