One expected at least Priyanka Vadra to be cleverer than Rahul Gandhi. But, it appears she too is turning out to be a queen of gaffes and goof-ups. She wanted to tweet condolences to CPM’s general secretary and senior politician Sitaram Yechuri, who lost his son to Covid.
However, she sent condolence message to Sitaram Kesari instead. Now, Sitaram Kesari is not a Communist. He was a past AICC president and is long dead. Before Priyanka could delete the tweet, it went viral and the netizens began trolling her to no end. But, more was to come. Priyanka’s team has reworked the tweet and then sent it to Priyanka Vadra with a note ‘to be retweeted.’ Priyanka, who apparently did not read the corrected tweet, copied the whole tweet, including the ‘to be retweeted’ and posted it. This time again, there was a storm in the twitter, with netizens trolling her. Many said that she was the ‘worthy’ sister of Rahul Gandhi.
Priyanka Gandhi’s team made the corrections and posted the proper tweet later. By that time, however, the damage was done. Social media is cruel indeed.
