Meet Pidi, the 'Bot' behind Rahul Gandhi's increasing social media popularity

New Delhi:

Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Sunday bashed his critics who questioned his witticism and sudden surge in popularity on social media, with a single hilarious tweet.

Rahul cleared the mystry behind his growing Twitter popularity and told the world about "Pidi", a poonch who manages his social media accounts.

"People (have) been asking who tweets for this guy... I'm coming clean..it's me..Pidi..I'm way cooler than him. Look what I can do with a tweet..oops..treat!" Rahul tweeted a video of a pooch playing a trick.

In the video, Rahul can be seen teaching the adorable dog “Pidi” to do “Namaste”. The pooch even responds to Rahul’s Namaste call and stands up on its rear.

After that Rahul puts a doggie treat on Pidi’s snout and asked it to stay. Then on his directions, the pooch eats the treat in a lighting speed which makes Rahul go wow. He exclaims, “Good Boy!”

With the hilarious tweet, Rahul Gandhi gave it back to his disparager who claimed that the surge in number of his followers and retweets of his official Tweeter handle is managed from artificial bots.

Recently, Rahul Gandhi has changed his political approach towards his opponents by attacking them in a witty way over twitter and during his speeches.

Some of Rahul’s viral tweets poking fun at PM Modi and other political opponents:

2028 में मोदीजी गुजरात के हर व्यक्ति को चाँद पर एक घर देंगे और 2030 में मोदीजी चाँद को धरती पर ले आएंगे
