Former AIADMK Minister deletes social media post on Rahul Gandhi

Published - May 22, 2024 09:04 pm IST - Madurai

A day after sharing a video clip of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and appreciating the “young leader” on social media, former AIADMK Minister Sellur K. Raju deleted it on Wednesday.

Mr. Raju had earlier clarified that his comment was only meant to highlight the ‘simplicity’ of the Congress MP in mingling with the public in a crowded restaurant. Though he said that there was no political significance to his X post, he deleted it within 24 hours.

“The MLA was upset by the trolling he received on social media and the way the mainstream media made a mountain out of a molehill,” an AIADMK functionary close to him said.
