Twitterati were quick to pounce on the saffron party spokesperson. Here are some:
User IndiaWithPMModi wrote, “Headline should be like this, ‘Sambit Patra ready for debate with shoes in hand.”
Another user Pradeep Gupta sarcastically wrote, “Today Sambit Patra will shower praises on Maharashtra Chief Minister for converting Mumbai streets into water park.”
Another user Gursatinder Singh wrote, “Newly appointed VC of Jio University going to his office on his first day.”
