Congress hits back at Rishi Kapoor, names public toilet in Allahabad after him

New Delhi, Monday, May 23, 2016


Rishi Kapoor

BRIEFCASE

  • Congress workers name public toilet after actor Rishi Kapoor.
  • Rishi Kapoor had questioned naming of country's assets after Gandhi family.
  • Rishi Kapoor has over a million followers on Twitter.

Angry over actor Rishi Kapoor's recent remarks questioning the naming of country's assets after the Gandhi family, Congress workers named a public toilet in Allahabad after the Bollywood personality.

Dozens of Congress workers gathered at Shivaji Park area in Allahabad today and hung a board bearing Rishi Kapoor's name outside a Sulabh toilet. Congress party workers justified naming of buildings, roads after the Gandhi family arguing that they played a huge rule in country's freedom.

What's the issue

Last week, Rishi Kapoor, took to twitter to question why "har cheez" (everything) in the country is named after the Gandhis.

"Baap ka maal samjh rakha tha? (Do they consider it their father's property?)" tweeted the 63-year-old actor, once known as one of India's best romantic stars. "If roads in Delhi can be changed why not Congress assets/property ke naam?" he asked.

"We must name important assets of the country who have contributed to society. Har cheez Gandhi ke naam? I don't agree. Sochna log!" said another tweet by Kapoor, whose scathing and often self-deprecating tweets have earned him over a million Twitter followers.

"Why Indira Gandhi airport International? Why not Mahatma Gandhi or Bhagat Singh Ambedkar or on my name Rishi Kapoor. As superficial! What say?" Kapoor said as he posted a series of questions.

Kapoor's comments had invited a massive protest by Congress workers outside his house in Mumbai last week.

Getting a toilet named after, is an honor in a country whose 50% population still practices open defecation. https://t.co/gVhVPL4U9u

This is shameful on Congress who is stooping to newer lows.
Rishi should take it as a mark of respect since toilets are part of clean India and hygiene for common people. If he symbolises that for Congress then so be it.

Congress pagla gayi hai.. giving so much attention and time to put Rishi Kapoor down .. it's just giving his statements (which were true btw) more mileage. This act of theirs doesn't troll Rishi Kapoor as much as it makes them look loser-ish.
