Rahul Gandhi’s Twitter followers have resumed increasing once again. The number of his followers decreased after the controversial tweet in the Delhi rape case. As part of this effort, Rahul also wrote a letter to Twitter, in which he informed the company’s CEO, Parag Agarwal, about the falling numbers. Twitter temporarily blocked the Congress leader’s account after he posted the tweet in the Delhi rape case.

According to the letter, about 2 lakh new followers are added each month. Over the past few months, this figure had reached 6.5 lakhs, but the number has since fallen to 2500 per month, and at times was also negative. The report says Congress sources believe this change isn’t normal, but the result of external influences.
