THE Congress and a host of its leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, on Wednesday changed their social media display pictures to an image of India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru holding the national flag.

A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and several BJP leaders made the ‘tiranga’ their profile picture on social media platforms, Congress leaders and the party’s official handles put a photograph of Nehru with the tricolour as their display picture on Twitter and other social media platforms

The image, likely photoshopped, was the same -- a black and white photograph of Nehru looking at the flag, in colour, in his hand.
