Former Gujarat Chief Minister and dissident leader of BJP Keshubhai Patel has joined Google Plus, Twitter and has also created his blog to put his views online in social media.

The 84-year-old leader who was in hibernation for last decade is suddenly over-active these days with his anti-Modi agenda. After BJP leader in Delhi showed cold shoulder to him, Keshubhai close team today created his social media accounts and delivered token posts for “testing purpose”.

On twitter Keshubhai’s account shows three tweets. All three tweets are posted on Saturday and they mention ‘Jay Somnath.’

It should be mentioned that Keshubhai is Chairman of Shri Somnath Trust.

In his second tweet Keshubhai has put a link of his newly opened blog excmkeshubhaipatel.blogpost.com

In third tweet he again says Jay Somnath and adds, “welcome to the blog of Shri Keshubhai.”

Keshubhai’s smiling face has been used as DP.

In his maiden blog post, Keshubhai has put a picture of Shivalinga of Shri Somnath with a line ‘welcome to the blog of Shri Keshubhai Patel’.

A large heading on the blog reads: “Keshubhai Patel Ex. CM Gujarat.”

DeshGujarat dialed Keshubhai’s cell phone and inquired whether the tweeter and blogger accounts are created by him, or someone else has used his name and picture? To this a young person on Keshubhai’s phone replied that this is Keshubhai’s official web presence, but the accounts stated above are still in testing phase.
