Ahmedabad: India’s main opposition Congress party today mentioned a word ‘Gujarati’ in tweet and attracted sharp reactions.

Assam Congress through its official verified twitter handle @INCAssam tweeted a link of the Times of India article titled ‘Rs 5,000 cr bank fraud: Nitin Sandesara, family may have fled to Nigeria’ and wrote: Another Gujarati, one more bank fraud, same modus operandi of fleeing from the country. #Chowkidar ji sleping during his duty!

With such tweet, general impression was created that Congress party apparently typecast the people of Gujarat as frauds. It’s worth mentioning here that Vadodara based industrialist Nitin Sandesara had committed bank fraud during Congress-led UPA government in the Centre. It was CBI under Modi government that booked Nitin and others through ED and CBI and started procedure against them. It must be noted that during the Uttar Pradesh elections, Congress ally Akhilesh Yadav had used the term, ‘Gujarat ki gadhey’ in election campaign and attracted outrage on social media.

Congress party’s tweet attracted sharp reactions on twitter:

Another self goal by Congress but writing 'Another Gujarati' is an insult to whole state. For this, janeudhari should get befitting welcome by Gujaratis the next time he visits there.

This Gujarati Nitin Sandesara is closely associated with your own Gujarati leader @ahmedpatel . Income tax department recovered a diary with details of payoffs to your high profile Leader Ahmed Patel and their relatives. https://t.co/dczO5Y8l02

Your Conscious effort of targeting gujarati people is shameful….

— दीपक राठौड़ (@DIPAKRATHOD999) September 24, 2018

Yes this time with the help from your party member @ahmedpatel from @INCGujarat . You and your party exploited each and every opportunity to divide the country based on religion, caste, states, language. Now people knows your ideology.

Wonder what @CongressGujarat thinks about this? This a sweeping generalization and an insult to resourcefulness of Gujratis.

— Namesake (@nirajm_123) September 24, 2018

You're mocking all Gujarati by saying another Gujarati. Shame on you.

All fleeing businessmen are very close relatives of Congress (khangress), who provided them unlimited INC phone loans. During INC regime all corrupt were under protection of INC only. But unfortunately all khangressi are shameless creatures. You hypocrites, public is aware now. pic.twitter.com/2Rmv2I4Pyu
