When there are vital elections arising in states like Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Goa, Rahul Gandhi was busy maintaining tab of his follower rely and making complicated calculations on how he bought over 6 lakh followers in May 2021 and since August 2021, his new month-to-month followers are nearly right down to zero.
Our boy hasn’t been capable of win elections in longest time, his loyalists are leaving Congress and becoming a member of the BJP, the celebration he has vowed to destroy, however his concern proper now’s his caught Twitter follower rely.
Aag lage basti mein, Rahul Gandhi apni masti mein (The village may very well be on hearth, however Rahul Gandhi is busy having fun with himself).
Twitter, nonetheless, has now stated that it often takes actions towards manipulation and spam accounts and therefore, it could be reflecting on the follower rely. Essentially, Twitter advised Rahul Gandhi that the bots he mistook as recognition was not their fault.
This was the third time Rahul Gandhi was shadowboxing with Twitter. In August 2021, Rahul Gandhi had compromised the id of a 9-year-old rape sufferer.
Gandhi’s actions violated the Juvenile Justice Act, and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act that bars everybody from revealing the id of a minor sufferer in any format, together with print, tv and on-line platforms.

Twitter discover on Rahul Gandhi’s tweetLaw of the land is equal for all. Just as a result of you’re a political celebration within the opposition doesn’t imply any motion towards you is on behest of the Central authorities.
Days later, Rahul Gandhi launched a brief video on his YouTube channel the place he once more alleged that Twitter was  interfering in India’s politics by shutting down his account. “A company is making its business to define our politics. And as a politician, I don’t like it,” Gandhi stated.
Sources in Congress IT cell had then advised OpIndia that this transfer by Twitter had embarrassed Congress and Rahul Gandhi as they by no means thought the social media large would take any step towards the chief. Congress leaders by no means thought that Twitter would take any step towards Rahul Gandhi. After all, Twitter has made it very clear that its workers have left-leaning bias. Top Twitter workers in India have very often tweeted towards PM Modi and in favour of Rahul Gandhi. In reality, Jack Dorsey, Twitter chief, on his go to to India had even met Rahul Gandhi and spoke about ‘tackling pretend information menace‘.
In August 2021 he didn’t need Twitter to intervene in Indian politics, however in April 2021 he needed the US to avoid wasting India‘s democracy and not to stay silent, thereby asking for America’s intervention in India’s inner issues.

He then claimed his lack of bot followers was selective censorship on Twitter. It even appended a graph evaluating his follower rely with that of PM Modi, HM Amit Shah and Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor.
In mindboggling stats, he additionally shared weekly evaluation of follower rely and in contrast them with the opposite leaders. If he would have spent this a lot time analysing his celebration’s shortcomings, the grand outdated celebration wouldn’t have decreased itself to a joke.
Rahul Gandhi desires the world to imagine that Narendra Modi is a few kind of comedian ebook villain out to manage the world and Rahul Gandhi is a few superhero who can save the world but when Modi authorities had been even 1% of the fascist they’re made to seem, all of the dissidents would have been jailed the best way his grandmother did it up to now.
