Lately, Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi has been in news for a lot of reason. However, it is his recent social media presence that has grabbed many eyeballs. Posting on a regular basis, the Congress scion has shared various details about his day to day activities, his hobbies (black belt in Aikido) and last but not the least, his dog ‘Pidi’, who surely became an overnight sensation.

While, it is refreshing to see a new avatar of the vice president being portrayed on social media, credits PR, it surely has made this one particular twitterati curious. In a series of tweets, going by the name of ‘Irony Man™ @Pun_Starr’, this user has drawn similarities between the Twitter account of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Rahul Gandhi. It isn’t clear whether such is the case or it just a coincidence spotted by the user, however, the tweets do tell a similar story.

Right after that a post about Gandhi planning to give his views about artificial intelligence is shared.

There were rumours, that RG will speak on AI. I think that may have been the original plan, but dropped later for obvious reasons. 3/ pic.twitter.com/YJCdTvisbr — IRONY MAN™ (@Pun_Starr) November 2, 2017
