Digvijaya's Twitter goof-up: Late leader in Rahul Gandhi Cabinet

Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Tuesday goofed up with a Twitter post, wherein he said former External Affairs Minister, late Dinesh Singh, was a member of Rahul Gandhi's Cabinet.

He later deleted the tweet and replaced the name "Rahul Gandhi" by the then Prime Minister "Rajiv Gandhi".

Digvijaya Singh posted a video on Twitter, produced by former Congress MP Rajkumari Ratna Singh who he said is the daughter of late Dinesh Singh.

"Rajkumari Ratna Singh, ex-MP, is the daughter of Raja Dinesh Singh ji who was a Cabinet Minister in Indira Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi's Cabinet," Digvijaya Singh had tweeted.

 

In reality, Dinesh Singh was a Cabinet Minister in the Cabinets of Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi.

Later, he deleted the tweet and replaced it by another tweet: "Rajkumari Ratna Singh, ex-MP, is the daughter of Raja Dinesh Singh ji who was a Cabinet Minister in Indira Gandhi and Rajeev Gandhi's Cabinet."

He again goofed up, but this time on spellings: Spelling Rajiv's name as "Rajeev".
