New Delhi: 43 Congress MLAs from Gujarat who flew to Delhi yesterday evening today met Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice president Rahul Gandhi.

As per the photographs released on Rahul Gandhi’s official twitter handle @OfficeofRG, the MLAs and state Congress leaders from Gujarat were seen standing behind the barricade under a cow-shelter like shade and meeting Sonia and Rahul Gandhi as they both were walking along with Ahmed Patel and Ashok Gehlot. The style of Gandhis was criticized severely on social media.

Social media reacts:

Serfs meeting their masters or elected representatives of people meeting the high command? Cringeworthy expressions on their faces… sick https://t.co/wHL0aD98av

If the MLAs who saved the party from its big embarrassment in recent times are treated this way, it's time to restructure the party top down https://t.co/wHL0aD98av

Shezaada and Sultana graciously accepting the grovelling salaams of the unwashed natives of Gujarat. Wah! Kya Inter- party Democracy hai! https://t.co/jMghuoeeEg

Exactly what ails @INCIndia Barricade for their own MLAs… Forget about Common man then. Or is this because they are from #Gujarat? pic.twitter.com/alnSHyVq7p

I repeat.

If @INCIndia can't trust it's own MLAs and have to barricade them, how does it expect 6 cr Gujaratis to trust its MLAs. pic.twitter.com/boye03DWHa

Meanwhile, the State Congress president Bharatsinh Solanki tweeted four photographs in which barricade was not visible and Gandhis were seen meeting some of the Gujarat Congress leaders/MLAs without barricade

The Congress party realized that Rahul Gandhi had tweeted photos with barricade which gave reason for wrong interpretation. The party in corrective mode released photographs of Rahul meeting Gujarat Congress leaders/MLAs without barricade later.

Disgusting to see @BJP4Gujarat going down to this level & misleading people. All the leaders met CP&VP one to one pic.twitter.com/oCSJKkvDgV
