Who Is Behind Rahul Gandhi’s Resurgence On Social Media?

New Delhi: Rahul Gandhi, who is on a mission to take on the BJP and reclaim lost ground for his party - the Congress, is attempting to match Narendra Modi and the BJP, tweet for tweet. Rahul, it appears is in a hurry to stand up to Modi as a political equal on social media and has been more active than ever on Twitter in recent weeks. The Congress Vice-President has been parrying with the Prime Minister's fans who have been dogging him with consistent trolling.

Of late, Rahul seems to have discovered how to work his mojo and has been firing tweets packed with wit on issues like GST, demonetisation and Aadhaar.

There has been a lot of buzz around those who handle Rahul Gandhi’s Twitter account and are behind his ‘social media resurgence’. In a tongue-in-cheek response to the growing speculation, the soon-to-be Congress president's account manager finally 'came clean'.

According to a tweet from Rahul's Twitter account, it seems to be an extremely talented dog named Pidi, who has been typing for the 47-year-old leader.

"Ppl been asking who tweets for this guy..I'm coming clean..it's me..Pidi..I'm way B-) than him. Look what I can do with a tweet..oops..treat! (sic)" said the account, with a video of Pidi doing a neat trick with a treat.

In a display of pointed wit on the social media, he addressed Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and quibbled, "may the farce be with you" — a funny take on the iconic Star Wars quote after the ministry allegedly misinterpreted an IMF forecast on India's GDP growth.

Rahul had recently termed GST as 'Gabbar Singh Tax', an expression which had gone viral on social media and inspired a host of memes.
