AM: Let us start with 20,000 RSS volunteers in Kerala
NT: But why do they need our help to trend it?
AM: Shut up and tweet what you are told. (2/n)
NT: But sir last time you said 20,000 in Nepal earthquake, RSS came out to deny it.
AM: What do they know? Anyway change the number to 10,000 if it makes you happy
NT: But why say “shuddering”
AM: Shut up and tweet (3/n)
NT: Sir last tweet made no sense
AM: It doesn’t matter, our people are not so smart; they won’t figure out.
