'So where is Rahul Gandhi going on vacation this year?' Twitter trolls Congress VP after election drubbing
The Congress vice-president was on the receiving end on Twitter after the party performed miserably in various state elections.
Thursday turned out to be a huge day for five states as results were announced for assembly elections in Kerala, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Assam and Puducherry. While the TMC won big in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu saw the return of Amma.
Assam saw the BJP win big, while Kerala saw the Left Democratic Front lead. The only silver lining for the Congress was in Puducherry where it won big. Rahul said, "We accept the verdict of the people with humility. My best wishes to the parties that have won the elections.
