It's surely a Christmas gift from Rahul's side to the old woman, probably, it's for the first time that Rahul had a one-on-one conversation on Twitter with someone.
On 16 December, the Gandhi scion took over as Congress president by succeeding his mother Sonia Gandhi. The 47-year-old was officially declared party president in a ceremony held at the party's 24 Akbar Road headquarters here.
