On Thursday, journalist Sagarika Ghose earned the ire of Twitterati for her comments on Rahul Gandhi. Reacting to a news piece about the Congress VP going abroad to come back with his mother, she tweeted: “Bye bye office of RG, have a nice break. All this politics stuff is so exhausting.” Many, including Congressmen and their supporters on Twitter, felt the tweet was in extreme bad taste and hit out at Sagarika.
Despite the fact that she deleted her initial tweet, Sagarika Ghose continued to defend her stance that for a politician the party must come first. She wrote among other things on Twitter: “Don't mean to offend but when party faces FULL BLOWN crisis, a politician's public duty has to come first. Sad, harsh, but undeniable. He happens to be VP of a national party which is unravelling & in panic mode. His public duty is uppermost at this time IMHO. Ma'am,am sure Cong Prez is not an "abandoned ill mother". Whole country wishes her speedy recovery. Your MLAs are leaving: shldn't VP be here? Public life has to be a 24*7 vocation. @MamataOfficial is a role model here. No holidays, no breaks, always there.
Thats true public life.” (sic) She further added: “Hope @INCIndia does become power hungry! Maybe one day they'll look up politics definition in dictionary,& say hey!it means pursuit of power! Whoa, impressed with @INCIndia assertion on social media. Does it have an SM cell at last? Goodness, what a barrage of reactions is coming my way. Profuse apologies if my tweet hurt sentiments, taking it down speedily. I think public life has to be end of family life. @narendramodi's big plus for many: no grasping family around trying to milk benefits.”
Congress president Sonia Gandhi is travelling abroad for a health check-up. Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi would be accompanying Sonia. ‘Congress President,Smt. Sonia Gandhi, is traveling abroad for a health check-up. Congress VP Shri Rahul Gandhi, shall travel there today to be with her and accompany Congress President on the return journey,’ Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala tweeted.
Owing to her ill health, Sonia had not campaigned in the recently concluded five-state assembly elections.
Rahul’s trip comes amid growing criticism both inside and outside party of his handling of the elections, where the Congress Party was crushed in Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh and couldn’t form its government in Goa and Manipur despite emerging as the single-largest party.
Rahul has, however, promised an organisational overhaul and introspection over the results.
