Jayanthi Natarajan’s letter bomb on Rahul and Sonia Gandhi sets Twitter on fire

In a dramatic move, Congress’ union minister for environment and forests, Jayanti Natarajan, has resigned from the party and shot off an explosive letter to the party high command.

The letter alleges that Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice-president Rahul Gandhi influenced decision making in her ministry with ‘specific directives” to her, for or against individual corporate bodies.

Her letter and allegations have sent shock waves in political circles and is the subject of intense debate in the social media.
