New Delhi, Mar 18 (IT): Congress party on Monday faced criticism on Twitter after it attempted to form the government in Goa soon after Manohar Parrikar's death on Sunday.
#VampireCongress is trending on Twitter as people slammed the "power-hungry party" for not paying any respect to Parrikar, who died after a battling pancreatic cancer.
Many Twitter users lashed out at Congress president Rahul Gandhi and his party for writing a letter to the governor to form government in Goa within two hours after his death.
"Within 2 hours post death of Manohar Parrikar this is the letter sent by Congress to governor followed by emergency meeting of all MLA's," said Twitter user Anubhav Srivastava.
Others termed Congress's attempt to form the government so soon after Manohar Parrikar's death as "shameful".

Many individuals on Twitter compared the Congress party with "vultures" for trying to stake claim to the government just a few hours after Parrikar's death.
Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan also criticised the Congress party for trying to stake claim to form the Goa government in such haste.
'They didn't even wait for his funeral'
Disgusted by the Congress hasty move to form the government, a few Twitter users criticised the party for not even awaiting his funeral.
"They didn't even wait for his funeral. For #VampireCongress his death is a great gift which they had dearly been yearning as he was the man who had been keeping these vultures out of power. By doing so they have only displayed the act of a vulture, desperate to feed on the dead," said one Twitter user.
Meanwhile, the political situation in Goa remains tense as Nitin Gadkari holds talks with BJP and MGP leaders to select new Goa chief minister. He is currently chairing a crucial meeting to choose the next Goa CM.
On Saturday, just a few hours after Manohar Parrikar passed away after a long battle with pancreatic cancer, Goa Congress leader Girish Chodankar and Chandrakant Kavlekar wrote to Goa governor Mridula Sinha for forming the government in Goa.
