Speaking on the same, he said “10 Million Twitter followers - thank you to each and every one of you!” “I will celebrate the milestone in Amethi, where I will be meeting our Congress workers & supporters today.’
It is interesting to note that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Twitter handle has 48.5 million followers, which over 4 times more than Rahul’s.
Rahul Gandhi will visit Amethi today for the first time after losing the parliamentary constituency to Union minister Smriti Irani in this general election, to ascertain the cause of his defeat.
During his visit, Gandhi will meet party representatives, including booth presidents of five assembly segments- Salon, Amethi, Gauriganj, Jagdishpur and Tiloi. Gandhi is likely to visit some villages too, party district spokesperson Anil Singh said.
The Gandhi scion will meet party workers at Nirmala Devi Educational Institute in Gauriganj.
In a historic poll battle, Irani defeated Gandhi in his bastion by more than 52,000 votes. Gandhi represented the Amethi Lok Sabha seat since 1999. He is currently a Member of Parliament from Wayanad constituency in Kerala.
