Just as the Congress sharpened its rusty weapons against the BJP over the Lalit Modi issue, the former IPL chief's tweet this morning has left the ruling party particularly happy.


Modi tweeted this morning that he had bumped into Congress presdient Sonia Gandhi and vice-president Rahul Gandhi at a restaurant in London. And for good measure, also added that met Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and her husband Robert Vadra there.

The three-part tweet read: "Happy to meet the Gandhi Family in London. I had run into Robert and Priyanka separately in a resturant - they were with Timmy Sarna. He has my no. They can call me. Will tell them what I feel about them exactly. Will mince no words. Will make no deal. But tell them witch hunt will now make them realize I was (emoticon of an angel)."


The BJP was quick to react, with spokesperson Sambit Patra saying, "We want to ask questions as to why the Gandhi family was constantly in touch with Lalit Modi. As to why yesterday also they were meeting Lalit Modi
It's thus obvious that none other than Sonia Gandhi can bring this to forefront."
