Asked about the lynching jibe at a media briefing later in the day, the former Congress president said, "Sarkar ki dalali mat karo (Don't do mediation for the BJP)." Gandhi, who appeared to lose his cool, responded after reporters asked him about the BJP's attack on his tweet. "Before 2014, the word 'lynching' was practically unheard of. #ThankYouModiJi," Gandhi's tweet said.
