Congress President Rahul Gandhi today admitted to having ‘journalists’ on Congress’ side who could go and pose questions on the party’s behalf to his opponents. While addressing a press conference himself, at a time when the BJP was addressing a press conference, Rahul Gandhi inadvertently acknowledged that there are a few journalists, who probably identify themselves as neutral, are on Congress’ side.
Here @RahulGandhi admits how he failed to plant Congress journalists at PM Modi's press conference. He is causally admitting that he has bought a bunch of pet journalists.
Good use of all the scam money that his family hoarded over these 60 years.#CongressMuktBharat pic.twitter.com/2nPPR4g2MV

Taking a dig at PM Modi, Rahul Gandhi said that he had sent some journalists to go and ask a couple of questions from ‘our’ side, but I believe they (those journalists sent by Rahul Gandhi) are not allowed.
Netizens were quick to point out how Congress is finally admitting the party has a few media persons to do their bidding.
Pappu agrees that he has media on congress pay rolls.

Didn’t know he had a set of personal journalists whom he sends on party’s errands.

Only a Pappu can spill beans that he asked “his journalists” to ambush an opponent’s press conference. Modi is lucky to have Pappu @RahulGandhi as his principal enemy

We have earlier written how Congress-friendly journalists have spread fake news and conspiracy theories and even offered their two cents in formalise election and campaign strategy for the Congress.
