Lately, Rahul’s Twitter posts have attracted a lot of attention for their humour, wordplay and analogies. He has been using Twitter to take pot shots at the Modi government and critics say there has been a welcome change in Rahul’s approach. Though they say it remains to be seen if it will translate into votes.
A late entrant to Twitter, he joined it in 2015 and has a following of 6 million.
