Union Minister of State for Communications and Information Technology Milind Deora is active on Twitter with some 72,000 followers. His handle describes him as a musician and a dog's best friend, besides his official designations. While his tweets are generally about his daily meetings and an attempt to advertise his government's achievements, today he posted a picture of a half-cut Alphonso with the tag: "The future's bright - the future's orange", probably referring to the colour of the mouth-watering fruit rather than the saffron opposition party. Within minutes, he was back to plugging his government: "In 9 years, false controversies aside, #UPA has achieved a great deal for participatory democracy. E.g. RTI has empowered India's voiceless". The future may be orange, but is it bright?
