If you’ve been following Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Twitter, you know that he’s been upping his ante quite rigorously, and... umm... humourously!
Gone are the days when RaGa was an odd mishap on the micro-blogging platform. And Gandhi’s tweets have weathered many a storm. Hackers, sneering trolls, defamatory quotes... you name it, they’ve braved it .
Recently, one of his tweets from 26 September was retweeted 6,000 times. Not just that, the Congress scion has also managed to gain 10 lakh followers in about two months.
Trick or Treat? RaGa’s Treat to Twitter Followers

RaGa’s Confession Elicits Twitter’s ‘Oohs’ and ‘Aahs’
Taking a dig at all his detractors for questioning his credibility on Twitter, RaGa lost no time in fetching Pidi.
Pidi, our dear readers, is the ghost writer, the brilliance behind the show, the creme de la creme that Rahul Gandhi’s tweets can be attributed to. Pidi is also his pet dog, the one who is “way cooler than him.” (Not our words!)
With his obedience and agility, Twitter users marvelled at Pidi. Some, however, played the grinch and stole Pidi’s thunder with repeated comparisons with RaGa.
All we can say is, if Pidi’s been tweeting for Gandhi these past few days, this puppy’s a keeper!
Oh No, He Didn’t! Or Did He?
Here’s a look at the mix of criticism and applause that came RaGa’s way.
Then, there is this gem.
#PidiDidIt
Move over, #ArnabDidIt, Pidi has done it all and more.
We don’t know if Pidi is indeed smarter than RaGa and neither do we know who’s going to make a better Congress president. But, we do know that miracles can happen if these two stick together!
