This is the most fun conversation you will read today on Twitter between Union Minister for Communications and Information Technology and Law and Justice, Kapil Sibal and a Twitter user.
Sibal, who joined Twitter yesterday with the first tweet reading "Here I am. One of you. Lets talk", already has over 10,000 people following him in 24 hours.
This morning he got into a fun sparring match with Twitter user @GabbbarSingh who was ribbing him.
Sibal, whose introduction says - "Kapil Sibal @KapilSibal Represents Chandni Chowk in the Lok Sabha. Union Minister for Communications & Information Technology; Law & Justice. By profession, a Lawyer" - sportingly responded to his queries, promising to bring him food in jail.
Till recently, Sibal was known for his strong stand against social media. He is even accused of trying to censor the social media, which he allegedly thinks is working against the ruling Congress at the Centre. Some of his actions against the social media led to an outrage across the virtual world in 2012.
However Sibal has denied all such allegations. He says he is for a free society and does not want to censor free speech.
People close to him are interpreting him joining Twitter as an attempt reach out to the voters ahead of the most crucial Lok Sabha polls due in April-May 2014.
Even though some of his Cabinet colleagues are already using twitter with Minister of State for HRD Shashi Tharoor being a real star with almost 20 lakh followers on
