The biting tweets of Rishi Kapoor against Congress made for and an interesting read resulting in an even more strange turn of events. Just days after Rishi Kapoor’s ‘baap ka maal’ tweet, Congress workers have ‘named’ a Sulabh Shauchalaya in Allahabad after him. For those of you who don’t know what this is about here is a recap.

Congress workers have placed a placard with Rishi Kapoor’s name in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh. Which we imagine they meant as an insult to the veteran actor.

When asked for a reaction, the actor said, “”I am thrilled. At least I will be of some use to someone. These people (Congress loyalists) are of no use to anyone. I take pride in the fact that the Sulabh Shauchalaya is named after me because it is the Prime Minister’s pet project right now.”
Moving further he said, “On a serious note, it really doesn’t matter to me what they do. They seem to have not understood what I implied by my tweets. I have nothing against the Nehru or Gandhi family. I am against the people exploiting their family name. I have been trying to say that I am against how blindfolded these people are to such issues. I am not saying anything wrong or disrespectful of Gandhi or Nehru or their family members. What I am saying is of national importance; people should realise the folly of naming everything after two families. This is just an observation by a citizen of the country and I have every right to voice my opinion. I know I have ruffled a few Congress feathers but they have misunderstood my intentions.”
I guess it’s time Congress is shown its due place.
