He also shared a screen grab of his meeting with the party’s social media cell workers at an online event on Friday and tweeted in Hindi: “We will stand by each other — we are not afraid, will not be afraid.”
Addressing the party workers, the former Congress chief had said those who were afraid of facing the reality and the BJP were free to leave the party, while fearless leaders from outside the party should be brought in.
