"JPC might include Isro and Adarsh Scams. Congress has nothing to hide because what's hidden will never be found." This is what a tweet by " Sonia Gandhi " says. But hold your breath, this is fake. There are several such postings one can find from sham accounts of politicians and top celebrities on popular social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook.
And it seems these sites have emerged as a nuisance for some top leaders, especially the Congress president and prime minister Manmohan Singh . There are a number of accounts in both Twitter and Facebook in the name of Sonia and the prime minister whose tweets from their fake accounts are based on alleged corruption in 2G spectrum allocation, S-band deal, Commonwealth Games and Adarsh Society.
A posting on one of Sonia's fake twitter accounts says, "After careful evaluation of outcome, Congress high council has agreed for JPC. We have nothing to hide." Another tweet from her says, "Most countries make people poor through taxes. We make people like Kalmadi rich. That's what makes us so wonderful."
A tweet from an account named after prime minister Singh says, "Madam ji, Left can never be right ji. Purulia can never be Rae Barreily ji."

Chiranjeevi Praja Rajyam Party merges with Congress
Emerging after a 15-minute meeting with Congress President Sonia Gandhi, Mr. Chiranjeevi said the decision was taken keeping in mind the “best interests” of the people of Andhra Pradesh as both the Congress and the PRP fight for social justice.
“We have decided to merge PRP with the Congress. The decision has been taken without any condition. There are no conditions at all,” Mr. Chiranjeevi told reporters outside Ms. Gandhi’s residence.
AICC general secretary in-charge for Andhra Pradesh M. Veerappa Moily said, “Chiranjeevi has merged his party with the Congress. He has now become a member of the Congress family. I am quite happy.”
Defence Minister A. K. Antony, who had met Mr. Chiranjeevi in Hyderabad recently and invited him for talks with Ms. Gandhi, was also present in the meeting.
Asked whether the move was to counter the threat posed by Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy, Mr. Moily said, “We are not against anybody. The move is just to strengthen the Congress. We are not against any personality.”
Mr. Chiranjeevi insisted that the merger has been agreed upon without any pre-conditions and that he has no “selfish motives”. “I do not expect anything at all. Not at all. I will be what I am today,” he said in response to queries on whether he would join the N. Kiran Kumar Reddy Cabinet.

Chiranjeevi to meet Sonia Gandhi Sunday
The actor-turned-politician will call on Sonia Gandhi Sunday morning, party sources said.
The meeting is taking place at the invitation of the Congress president. Senior Congress leader and Defence Minister A.K. Antony had visited Hyderabad and met Chiranjeevi last week to invite him for the talks.
Worried over the threat posed by former party MP Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy to its government in Andhra Pradesh, the Congress is trying to woo the PRP to either merge with it or join the government.
The PRP has 18 legislators in the 294-member assembly. With 156 members, Congress enjoys a slender majority.
But at least two dozen of its legislators are reportedly planning to switch loyalties to Jaganmohan Reddy, who quit the Congress in November last year and is planning to float a new party.
Chiranjeevi, who held consultations with party legislators and senior leaders during the last two days, will hear the proposals from Sonia Gandhi and will then respond, said a party leader.
A section of PRP leaders is opposed to the merger, but majority of the legislators back a tie-up with the ruling party.
