Congress, Trinamool Lock In Twitter War Over Prashant Kishor's Tweet

"People looking for a quick, spontaneous revival of GOP led opposition based on the Lakhimpur Kheri incident are setting themselves up for a big disappointment," Mr Kishor said on his Twitter handle.

The relationship between the Congress and the TMC Friday touched a new low with Mamata Banerjee's party taking a dig at Rahul Gandhi's defeat in Amethi in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, wondering whether the Congress can erase the loss through a Twitter trend. People looking for a quick, spontaneous revival of GOP led opposition based on #LakhimpurKheri incident are setting themselves up for a big disappoinment.Unfortunately there are no quick fix solutions to the deep-rooted problems and structural weakness of GOP. People looking for a "national" alternative based on poaching INC functionaries who can't win even their own seats is in for a big disappointment.Unfortunately, to become a national alternative deep-rooted and concerted efforts are needed and there are no quick- fix solutions. Rich words coming from a first-time CM. Punching above your weight doesn't bring honour to you, Mr. @bhupeshbaghel. What a shoddy attempt to please the high command!By the way, is @INCIndia going to try to erase the historical defeat at Amethi through yet another Twitter Trend? https://t.co/UiI1Zvcudl

The Twitter war between the two parties wanting to lead an opposition front against the BJP started Friday morning after poll strategist Prashant Kishor, in a message for the Congress, said those looking for a quick revival of the grand old party-led coalition following the Lakhimpur Kheri incident are in for a big disappointment.

"People looking for a quick, spontaneous revival of GOP led opposition based on the Lakhimpur Kheri incident are setting themselves up for a big disappointment," Mr Kishor said on his Twitter handle.

"Unfortunately there are no quick-fix solutions to the deep-rooted problems and structural weakness of GOP," he said.
