Why Rahul Gandhi is the Twitter Darling?

Wednesday, 9 October 2013

Rahul Gandhi is the darling on Twitter. Nobody can dare to question this statement. In Congress there may be some who may question his promotion to the top post, but nobody can negate this statement. Without him Twitter is boring. No fun at all. He is almost indispensable. How much the Congress party needs him, much more than that Twitter loves him.

We all are following someone or the other on Twitter, but he? He makes Twitter to follow him. With his carefully written and even carefully delivered heart-touching speeches. Yes. What speeches da! Ehh.. wonderful. Full of ideas, thoughts, fresh logic and what not. In other words, he is the ideal person. Ideal person to tweet about. Whether he makes it to the headlines or not, but he trends on twitter all the time: before, during and after his speeches. Looking at him I feel pity for those paid trends which pay heavily for a temporary attention. You rich advertising fellows learn from Rahul. 

Sometimes Rahul wants to make headline for some specific thing. Remember the #Ordinance? But somehow he trends for something else. Never mind, haar jeet to hoti rehti hai. What ultimately matters is popularity no? Say yes. 

His escape velocity analogy was phenomenal. It caught tweeple’s imagination. It trended on top of Twitter for 2 straight days. I was wondering whether escape velocity itself wanted to escape out of Twitter. May be Rahul didn't mention what velocity it needed to escape, it just stayed there only. By the time he gave another speech it slowly disappeared. Before answering any questions related to escape velocity, Physics students would laugh first. No chance of them making any mistake while answering Jupiter's escape velocity from now onwards.

This time his speech was in Rampur. In Rampur, he went one step further. He asked the crowd: “Arey bhai tali to baja do. Tali ke bina maza nahi ata” (I need you to clap to keep me going). (Check it here).

I just wish he keeps on giving us speeches, at the similar speed (or rather velocity). At least one speech a day. That would keep all of us happy and engaged.
