Assam BJP leader Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday congratulated newly-elected Congress president Rahul Gandhi on assuming the top party post. The message comes two months after Sarma made fun of the newly-elected Congress President's Twitter post of his dog Pidi..
"My congratulations and best wishes to @OfficeOfRG on your taking over as @INCIndia President. May you have a wonderful & successful tenure. We shall continue to have ideological and political contests," he tweeted.
Sarma, who had quit the party and joined the BJP on the eve of the last state elections, accusing Rahul Gandhi of "indifference" to party affairs. He had even posted a series of comments after Rahul Gandhi had shared pictures of his dog Pidi.
"Sir @OfficeOfRG, who knows him better than me. Still remember you busy feeding biscuits to him while we wanted to discuss urgent Assam's issues," Sarma said, provoking Congress leaders to lash out at him.
"We also know you better now," was the reaction of Mahila Congress president and Lok Sabha MP from Silchar Sushmita Dev, who tagged Sarma.
Congress social media in charge Divya Spandana, responding to Gandhi s tweet said, "So know you who can match this talent."
Gandhi's tweet came at a time when his social media popularity is a subject of intense discussion.
The BJP has accused Gandhi of using bots to inflate his fan following on the microblogging website, but the Congress defended his Twitter resurgence as natural. The bot is a software that can be used to autonomously perform actions such as tweeting, retweeting, liking, following, unfollowing, or direct messaging other accounts.
