NEW DELHI: BJP leaders joined others on Twittter reacting angrily to Congress member Radhika Khera‘s sarcastic tweet soon after India lost to Pakistan in T20 World Cup match.
“Congressmen must be very happy today..why? Now it is certain..Congress will fight the election of 2024 in its “Watan” ..and will try to make Rahul there “Wazir-e-Azam”!” Tweeted Sambit Patra in response to Khera’s tweet, saying, “Kyo Bhakto, aa gaya swad? Karwa li Beazzati??” ( What Bhakts? How was the taste? Have you managed to humiliate yourselves?”
In her twitter profile, Khera has introduced herself as Congress’s national media coordinator.
She tweeted the mocking text soon after India lost to Pakistan on Sunday night. In her next tweet, Khera wrote ‘stupid Bhakts’ and “Malviya’s 2 rupees trolls”. She was presumably referring to Amit Malviya, the IT cell head of the BJP. As her tweet was one of the leading trends with some netizens taking strong exception to it, she attributed it to trolling encouraged by the BJP IT cell.
She also threatened to take legal action against those who reported her tweet.
Some of the twitterati also mocked her claiming she had drawn more attention than the votes she had polled in the 2020 Delhi state assembly polls.
