NEW DELHI: A screenshot shared by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on social media mocking Uttar Pradesh over the spate of paper leaks led to several BJP leaders reacting strongly.
“I don’t see the humour in running down my state and its people by stereotyping them with such condemnable remarks. Such an insult to UP is deplorable and must be condemned in strongest words,” Union minister Jitin Prasada said on X.
Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma added, “This gentleman frequently indulges in satirising various cultures (first North-East and now UP) with remarkably caustic words.He has succumbed to the beguiling whispers of lunacy, his mind adrift in the ethereal mists of derangement.”
The comments came in response to Tharoor’s post on X in which a respondent is “rewarded” 10/10 for the response “where answer is out before question” against a query, “Uttar Pradesh kise kehte hain”. He commented on the post as “shandaar” and added the hashtag “Pariksha pe charcha”.
