One might argue that the Congress leader deleted X number of tweets and tweeted X+1 times and hence Social Blade data shows an increase of one in the total number of tweets. However, Rahul&#8217;s Twitter timeline clearly shows that is not the case.<\/p>\n<p>While going through Rahul Gandhi&#8217;s Twitter timeline, we noted that on November 15, 2022, Rahul had tweeted snippets of a speech delivered by him where he spoke about Savarkar and Birsa Munda.
