Gandhi is well known for criticising his opponent party leader and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the micro-blogging site. His famous tweets include one with the alleged failure of PM Modi’s ‘hugplomacy’ with US President Donald Trump, which came after the release of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) chief Hafiz Saeed, the mastermind behind the 2008 Mumbai attacks, from house arrest.
Gandhi tweeted “Narendrabhai, Terror mastermind is free. President Trump just delinked Pak military funding from LeT. Hugplomacy fail. More hugs urgently needed (sic).”

Gandhi also took to the micro-blogging site several times to criticise the recent economic forums such as demonetisation, and Goods and Service Tax (GST), which he renamed as ‘Gabbar Singh Tax’.

Modi ji's GST= Gabbar Singh Tax =''ये कमाई मà¥à¤à¥‡ दे दे"
However, reports sometimes suggested that his followers were allegedly ‘fake’, after garnering much attention from his tweets.
