THE venomous relationship between Congress party’s
Young Turks, Manish Tiwari and Deepender Hooda, is no secret. But perhaps even Rahul
Gandhi could not have anticipated that this would take the form of open brawls
in public fora. Apparently, Hooda had gone to address a meeting of the Congress
student’s wing, National Students Union of India (NSUI). Soon, the national
secretary of NSUI, Surabhi Dwivedi twitted: “Today Hooda Sir has given a new
slogan, ‘You and I, NSUI’, so thank you so much from the core of our hearts for
thus inspiring us with the slogan.” Tiwari jumped into the fray and retorted on
Twitter: “This is an old slogan. It was first given in 1985 by the president of
the JNU students’ union… the same man today is with the Telegu Desam party and
his wife is the defence minister of the country.” Tiwari made his point without
naming Nirmala Sitharaman’s husband Parakala Prabhakar, who is the
Communications Advisor to the Chandrababu Naidu government in Andhra Pradesh.
