Sunday morning, Congress IT cell ran a series of “polls” with the hashtag #KnowYourLegacy. These are general knowledge multiple choice questions on Congress leaders, mostly Nehru Gandhi family members. However, they had their faux pas moment when one of the questions looked like this.
As per initial trends, donkey was emerging as the winner of the poll. As soon as they realised what a joke that quiz turned into, Congress social media team deleted the tweet. However, Twitterati were quick to take screenshot for posterity.
