New Delhi: After Congress delegation including Rahul Gandhi and Party General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra met the family of a deceased farmer in Lakhimpur Kheri district, political strategist Prashant Kishor cautioned that people looking for a quick, spontaneous revival of the grand old party are setting themselves up for a big disappointment according to a twitter post.
The war of words began after Prashant Kishor quipped at Congress saying those looking for a quick revival of the grand old party-led coalition following the Lakhimpur Kheri incident are in for a big disappointment.
Senior Congress leader and Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel was quick to hit back and attacked Prashant Kishor in his own words.
“People looking for a ‘national’ alternative based on poaching INC functionaries who can’t win even their seats is in for a big disappointment. Unfortunately, to become a national alternative deep-rooted and concerted efforts are needed and there are no quick-fix solutions,” he tweeted.
The Trinamool Congress took notice of Baghel’s comments and launched a blistering attack on the Chhattisgarh CM.
Taking to its official Twitter handle, TMC said, “Rich words coming from a first-time CM. Punching above your weight doesn’t bring honour to you, Mr. bhupeshbaghel. What a shoddy attempt to please the high command! By the way, is @INCIndiagoing to try to erase the historical defeat at Amethi through yet another Twitter Trend?”
West Bengal’s ruling party was ostensibly alluding to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s defeat in Amethi in the Lok Sabha polls.
