Former Congress President Rahul Gandhi today followed a Congress-friendly troll, Sanjukta, on Twitter.

When she saw the notification that Wayanad MP has followed her, she was visibly elated. She tweeted, “Oh holy f*^k, what just happened!! I would have to mind my language and behave myself now. Times Now targeted him for meeting me and few others. Now he is following, how they will troll him for this,” and thanked Rahul Gandhi.
Rahul Gandhi’s follow comes just days after Sanjukta had announced on social media that only her and Rahul Gandhi’s voices ‘somewhat matter’ on the micro-blogging platform.

Without naming anyone she had announced on Twitter how only two people “whose voices somewhat matter here” dared not to care about the Chandrayaan 2 launch. After all, why should a space technology advancement matter to the only two people whose voices ‘somewhat matter’ on Twitter.
Sanjukta had added how these two people are the only ones who are “pained and worried about the future of the nation.” She had added how one of these two people was herself and asked her followers to guess the other person.
A day later, when no one guessed the other person’s name, she announced that the only other person on Twitter ‘who works from his heart’ is the former Congress President. Sanjukta added how Rahul Gandhi tweeted about Sheila Dikshit’s passing and Trump’s statement on Kashmir, which was categorically denied by India, but not on Chandrayaan 2.
She added how perhaps this is the reason he was a misfit.
In fact, Rahul Gandhi’s resignation had even made her cry.

However, now with Rahul Gandhi following her on Twitter, maybe the ‘liberals’ and ‘intellectuals’ who do not accept her in their ‘club’ will finally welcome her with open hands.
In May this year, she had taken on controversial journalist Barkha Dutt and accused her of never making Sanjukta a part of the ‘club’.

She had announced how she is an extraordinarily talented and brave woman but the ‘intellectuals’ haven’t given her any seal of approval.

She had said how she had harboured dreams of being part of the club. But she was attacked by the same ‘club’ when she ‘showed the mirror’ to Tavleen and Smita.
In now deleted tweets, Sanjukta had referred to news agency ANI Editor Smita Prakash as a ‘prestitute’ and sided with Rahul Gandhi for calling her ‘pliable’
Sanjukta was called out by many from the fraternity but she was still adamant and stuck by her words, much like Rahul Gandhi, who she claims is just like her.
In fact, if the coincidences are to be believed, Rahul Gandhi returned to India soon after she tweeted to him to get back because without Gandhi, the world is crumbling.

But now with Rahul Gandhi having followed her on Twitter, considering he follows only 304 people against 10.1 million followers he has, one wonders if Sanjukta’s abuses and trolling might come down. However, there is nothing to suggest that being followed by Rahul Gandhi stops abusive behaviour of people.
