Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Sunday took on his detractors who have been wondering as to whether his tweets are his own, through a video of his pet dog.
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, read the post which shows a video of Pidi (the dog) doing some antics and gobbling a biscuit after balancing it on his muzzle.
"Look what I can do with a tweet... oops... treat," says the tweet.
Of late, Rahul Gandhi's tweets have grabbed much attention for their humour and satire -- which sceptics say is very unlike the Gandhi scion. Also, there has been a sudden rise in retweets and the number of his followers.
His Twitter handle got more than one million new followers between July and September this year, according to reports.
