Twitter brutally trolls Robert Vadra for posting Paraguay flag after voting
Robert Vadra, Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s brother-in-law became the butt of jokes online, when he posted the flag of Paraguay as an emoji.
Vadra wrote: "Our right our strength !! Everyone must step out n vote ... we need all support, to create a combined future for our loved ones, n for a secular, safe, productive future for our country."
He also wrote on Facebook: "India lives in my heart & I salute Tiranga.
Using a Paraguay flag in my post was just an aberration. I very well know that "You all know it was posted by mistake" but you decided to “play up my mistake”, when there are such glaring issues to be discussed.
It saddens me, but never mind!! My best wishes..."
Later Vadra, deleted the tweet and posted a new message but by then the damage had been done.

By mistake @irobertvadra tweeted with flag of #Paraguay, one of the countries where the Gandhi's money is stashed. Let's cut him some slack. #LokSabhaElections2019 pictwitter.com/JYSGhHmvBF

2. 'Very clear BJP will be defeated'
)
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra Sunday said it is "very clear" that the BJP will face defeat in Lok Sabha polls as people are "angry and distressed" and they will convey their sentiments through voting.
Interacting with reporters after exercising her franchise, the senior party leader said it was "very clear that the BJP government is going".
"There is anger among people, and they are under distress. Modiji, instead of talking about real issues, has been talking about random things. And, now, they will express their anger against this government through voting," the Congress general secretary said.
She said this will be witnessed especially in Uttar Pradesh.
Priyanka again hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and said, "He doesnt reply to any of the issues that our party raised, and just talks about random things." Congress campaigns on real issues and the prime minister has "not even responded to the challenge thrown by our party president (Rahul Gandhi) to debate on real issues," she said.
He and his party had in 2014 promised to deposit Rs 15 lakh in every Indian's bank account and create two crore jobs, but Prime Minister Modi "doesn't talk about that", she said.
Asked about the constant criticism the Nehru-Gandhi family faces from the BJP, she recounted an anecdote about her guru telling her the calmness that Lord Buddha had in face of detractors.
Priyanka was accompanied by her husband Robert Vadra who also cast his vote.
3. Battle for Delhi

The seven constituencies in Delhi are voting on Sunday alongside 14 seats in Uttar Pradesh, 10 in Haryana, eight each in Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal, and four in Jharkhand as part of the sixth phase of the 2019 poll which ends on May 19. Counting of vote will take place on May 23.
The Congress chief, after casting his vote at a separate polling booth, said that so far it has been a "good fight" in the elections.
Asked how many seats the Congress is winning, he said, "I won't comment on that. It will be decided by the people." "People are the master. Whatever people say, we will accept. How many seats we will win, people will decide that... Jai Hind," he said.
In Delhi, it is largely a three-way contest among the BJP, the Congress and the AAP.
In the 2014 Lok Sabha poll, all the seven seats in the national capital were won by the BJP. While the Congress is hoping to bounce back in Delhi, the AAP is keen to give a good fight.
The Bengal CM scrambled to address the 'growing disaffection among the minority community towards the Trinamool Congress by suggesting, regardless of the opinions of its candidate Nusrat Jahan, the party stands against the criminalisation of instant triple talaq. Batting against one of the most pro-woman reforms for the minority community by the Modi sarkar, Mamata declared, she is against the Triple Talaq Bill. Holding the hand of TMC's glam girl, on the one hand, Mamata announced, "I know few of you are upset about a comment by Nusrat. Please don't take it to heart. She is a kid. She doesn't understand all these. My party has just one stand. She won't deviate from the party stand. Just keep that in mind".
