Dynasty acolytes hit back and pointed out, that @INCIndia's existence was intransigencally linked with the Gandhi family. In the last week of April, Veteran Cong leader A K Antony candidly admitted "The Congress cannot exist without the Nehru-Gandhi family". 
Recently writing in a multi-edition, national English daily, #ManiShankarAiyar, another senior Cong leader observed, "...it is the Gandhis who together constitute the glue, or the bonding adhesive, that keeps the partly together and gives it an all India profile.”
Reports enemating from the 'Shivir' clearly suggest that most of the delegates rejected the G23 line and were with Antony-Aiyar on the leadership issue.
Deposing #RajivGandhi and renaming the #KhelRatna award after #MajorDhyanChand is a) a classic dead cat, b) hypocritical, and c) a cheap shot. Yes, it honours one of India’s greats, but it is no political masterstroke.

a) It is a classic #deadcat as described by @LyntonKCrosby – a sensational topic thrown in to divert attention away from more damaging topics (of which there are many). This is a standard tactic now, especially among neopopulists. So, no real surprise there

@LyntonKCrosby b) Hypocritical, because, among other things, it comes less than six months after the #Motera stadium was renamed after #PMNarendraModi. Oh come on
