Rahul Gandhi's tweet draws sharp attack from northeast chief ministers

Chief Ministers of Northeastern states attacked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleging he lacks understanding of the country.

Rahul Gandhi tweeted, "There is strength in our Union.Our Union of Cultures.
Our Union of Diversity.
Our Union of Languages.

Our Union of People.
Our Union of States.

From Kashmir to Kerala. From Gujarat to West Bengal. India is beautiful in all its colours."

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma attacked and tweeted, "Don’t insult the spirit of India.

India is far beyond just a union. We are a proud Nation.

Bharat cannot be held hostage to your tukde tukde philosophy

What is your problem with Nation, Nationality and Nationalism.?

And hello- beyond Bengal, we North east exist."

Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh tweeted, "It baffles me when a senior @INCIndia leader ignores the existence of North East India in their statements. When the existence of this region is not even acknowledged, how is Congress asking for votes to the people of Manipur for the upcoming election?

Who’s dividing the Nation?. "
