New Delhi: The ‘rasoda’ meme has taken the internet by storm and even politicians aren’t immune to it. The Congress, meanwhile, continues to battle multiple enemies, and some words of wisdom by a party veteran.
Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera won over Twitter Wednesday with this ‘rasoda’ jibe. BJP’s Sambit Patra had used the meme in a TV debate Tuesday to criticise the Congress.
What’s the point in trying to discuss important issues like #unemployment, #Corona, #China, economy etc when the other side is busy finding out ‘rasode mein kaun tha’ https://t.co/TDCT9N09BR

In law
Amongst social activists
On social media platformsOpposition is often voluntary
Support is often managed

On Mother Teresa’s 110th birth anniversary, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra reminisces about her personal encounter with the Nobel prize winner.
Shortly after my father was killed #MotherTeresa came to see us. I had fever. She sat by my bedside, held my hand and said ‘Come and work with me’. I did so for many years, and owe her a great debt of gratitude for the abiding friendship of all the MC sisters..1/2 pic.twitter.com/sEk3mK2oqb

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is convinced that he’s a good economist.
RBI has now confirmed what I have been warning for months.
Govt needs to:
Spend more, not lend more.
Give money to the poor, not tax cuts to industrialists.
Restart economy by consumption.Distractions through media won't help the poor or make the economic disaster disappear. pic.twitter.com/OTDHPNvnbx

And lastly, US President Donald Trump pays CNN a compliment? 2020 really is a bizarre year.
Very appreciative that @CNN covered the vast majority of the Republican Convention last night. That was really good for CNN, while at the same time being good for our Country. Thank you!
