Sir — After almost a week’s silence, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj resorted to the social media to disclose about her illness. No sooner did she Tweet, there was a tremendous response. Many wished her good health, some even offered their own kidney for transplant.
Such ardour reflects Swaraj’s special handling of her ministry and her social media account. She uses Twitter to connect with the masses. Swaraj has carved a niche for herself as a fire-fighter whenever Indians are in trouble abroad.
