Hogging the limelight

The Congress party, and the rest of the Opposition, on Monday worked to a plan to capture the media space. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu sat on a day-long fast at New Delhi’s Andhra Bhavan from the morning, which was attended by all leading Opposition leaders. Congress President Rahul Gandhi attended the protest in the morning, before leaving for Lucknow where he held a road show with two of his newly appointed general secretaries in charge of Uttar Pradesh — Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Jyotiraditya Scindia. Most television channels beamed the road show live. Also on Monday, Priyanka ( pictured) made her debut on the social media platform Twitter and by evening her twitter following crossed 100,000.
