Amitabh Bachchan is a superstar on the social media
sphere! His Twitter family is expanding by the day and his social media
pursuits are a hotly debated topic on the internet. No doubt then, when
the veteran actor decided to follow a bunch of Congress party leaders, tongues
started wagging.
Amitabh Bachchan now follows Congress president Rahul Gandhi and the Congress
party's official Twitter handle too. Mr Bachchan is also following senior
party leaders like P Chidambaram, Kapil Sibal, Ahmed Patel, Ashok Gehlot, Ajay
Maken, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Sachin Pilot and CP Joshi. These additions to his
follow list are relatively new and have triggered speculation over his sudden
interest in the party that he was once close to.

follow the icon of Indian Cinema who we grew up watching First day First Show
Every new release.Those days in late 70’s & early 80’s a Balcony ticket in
Chandigarh was Rs.3. Unbelievable today! @SrBachchan”

To refresh your memory, Mr Bachchan was once close to the Nehru-Gandhi family
and was a friend of late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.

In addition he’s also recently started following a handful of prominent BJP and
AAP leaders.
Is there a political motive behind Big B’s recent Twitter activity? We wonder.
