Congress has been targeting Sushma Swaraj since she confirmed Indians had been killed by ISIS
New Delhi:
The Congress's Twitter poll against Sushma Swaraj backfired spectacularly with over 76 per cent voting "No" to the opposition party's question: whether the death of 39 Indians in Iraq was her biggest failure as Foreign Minister. Ms Swaraj scored big by re-tweeting the Congress poll.
Undeterred, the Congress today tweeted another poll -- just to make things "explicitly clear" -- and challenged Ms Swaraj to retweet its post again.
A week ago, the foreign minister declared in parliament that the Indian workers, missing since 2014, had been confirmed dead after DNA tests on remains underneath a mound in Iraq's Mosul. The Congress accused her of misleading the house and the families of the workers earlier, when she assured that the workers were safe until evidence otherwise. The party also decided to push a motion for breach of privilege.
Undeterred, the Congress today tweeted another poll -- just to make things "explicitly clear" -- and challenged Ms Swaraj to retweet its post again.
The new tweet gives respondents two options to choose from -- the killing of Indians in Iraq or the "unresolved" Doklam dispute. "No" is not an option in this one. So far, there are over 11,400 votes. And many of the respondents have taken fresh shots at the Congress.Which of these two is Sushma Swaraj's biggest failure? #IndiaSpeaks

Others responded with their own poll disparaging the Congress as well as its president Rahul Gandhi.Well well well! After she has trolled u badly, u had ur time to think how to get revenge of her trolling & came up with this cheap poll with two negative options! Show some courage if u have any & add positives also & u will see how Indians will vote! Let's see if u can do!

The Congress has been targeting Ms Swaraj since she confirmed in parliament last week that the Indians had been killed by the ISIS. Its last post was a self-goal, with Ms Swaraj walking away with high approval ratings and more fans.Who has better potential of being PM?
