According to estimates, out of the total population in India that uses smartphones, around 95 per cent uses Android phones.
Reacting to this, Gaurav Gogoi said: “X pages of @INCIndia and mine don’t seem be showing on Android phones since yesterday. It should not be a problem that takes more than a day to be resolved. I expect @X to issue a clarification and resolve the matter soon.”
The ‘restriction’ on Assam Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi’s X account for Android users came just a day after he engaged in war of words on the platform with CM Himanta Biswa Sarma.
This ‘restriction’ of Assam Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi’s X account on Android devices may deprive a large section of the country’s population of his views, especially at a time when he is emerging as a leader with strong opinion.
