Sonam Kapoor Takes a Jibe at Chetan Bhagat For His 'Liberal Purist' Tweet on AAP Win

The author went on to post a tweet to celebrate the victory where he wrote, "AAP learnt to be liberal, but not so much to fall into the trap of giving constant liberal agniparikshas. Their leader read Hanuman Chalisa. Liberal purists would have said this is wrong. But he won. If he listened to liberal purists he never would."

Just like BJP had a landslide victory back in 2019 General Elections Arvind Kejriwal led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) went on to witness an almost completely dominant victory once again in the 2020 Delhi legislative assembly election results.

Many celebrities have voiced their support for Kejriwal and the win, and one of them was author Chetan Bhagat. The author went on to post a tweet to celebrate the victory where he wrote, "AAP learnt to be liberal, but not so much to fall into the trap of giving constant liberal agniparikshas. Their leader read Hanuman Chalisa. Liberal purists would have said this is wrong. But he won. If he listened to liberal purists he never would."

In his tweet, Chetan spoke about how AAP learned to be liberal, but not enough to fall into the trap of giving constant liberal Agniparikshas. He added how their leader read Hanuman Chalisa and mentioned that although ‘Liberal purists’ would have called it wrong, he won.

Replying to Bhagat's tweet, Kapoor said, "Chetan my husband chants the hanuman chalisa everyday. Your choice of faith isn’t necessarily your political leaning. I don’t understand the logic and meaning of your tweet. I’m a practicing Hindu and I’m definitely a liberal.”

In his reply to Sonam's tweet, Chetan Bhagat went on to explain to Sonam about his tweet and tried to make the actress understand about what he thinks on the topic.
