'Feel free to retweet': Congress to Sushma Swaraj after new poll

March 30, 2018 07:56

The Congress's Twitter poll against Sushma Swaraj backfired spectacularly with over 76 per cent voting "No" to the opposition party's question: whether the death of 39 Indians in Iraq was her biggest failure as Foreign Minister. Swaraj scored big by re-tweeting the Congress poll.

Undeterred, the Congress today tweeted another poll -- just to make things "explicitly clear" -- and challenged Ms Swaraj to retweet its post again.

The new tweet gives respondents two options to choose from -- the killing of Indians in Iraq or the "unresolved" Doklam dispute. "No" is not an option in this one. So far, there are over 11,400 votes. And many of the respondents have taken fresh shots at the Congress.

"Well well well! After she has trolled u badly, u had ur time to think how to get revenge of her trolling & came up with this cheap poll with two negative options! Show some courage if u have any & add positives also & u will see how Indians will vote! Let's see if u can do!"

Others responded with their own poll disparaging the Congress as well as its president Rahul Gandhi.

The Congress has been targeting Swaraj since she confirmed in Parliament last week that 39 Indians had been killed by the Islamic State. Its last post was a self-goal, with Swaraj walking away with high approval ratings and more fans.
