Allahabad: In response to Bollywood stalwart Rishi Kapoor’s ‘baap ka maal’ tweet against the Nehru-Gandhi family, Congress supporters in Allahabad to express their anguish, named public toilet after the revered actor.
Rishi Kapoor had strongly lashed out at Gandhi family members and questioned on social media that why the Congress party, in over 6 decades of its rule, named public properties after leaders of the Gandhi family. In one of the tweets, he said,
“Change Gandhi family assets named by Congress. Bandra/Worli Sea Link to Lata Mangeshkar or JRD Tata link road.”
“Baap ka maal samjh rakha tha?,” Rishi Kapoor said in a tweet.
