Of late, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi has been getting a lot of shade for his Tweets. The politician decided to get back at them with some humor.
Gandhi answered his detractor’s question as to who has been tweeting for him. He put up the cutest video of his dog, Pidi taking a treat in style. The caption said, “People have been asking who tweets for this guy (Rahul Gandhi.) I’m coming clean, it is me Pidi… I’m way cooler than him. Look what I can do with a tweet… oops… treat.”
