Kejriwal Trolled PM Modi For A Tweet About His Mum And Indian Twitter Returned The Favour

PM Modi has been one of the most social media savvy Prime Ministers our country has ever had. He is in constant touch with the citizens through his Twitter handle and post updates which get liked and retweeted thousands of times. However, at times such updates tend to backfire. Like this one.

PM Modi posted an update on Twitter saying that he was going to skip yoga this morning in order to meet his mother. 

Skipped Yoga & went to meet mother. Before dawn had breakfast with her. Was great spending time together.

As always Arvind Kejriwal had something important to contribute:

As expected.

मैं अपनी माँ के साथ रहता हूँ, रोज़ उनका आशीर्वाद लेता हूँ लेकिन ढिंढोरा नहीं पीटता। मैं माँ को राजनीति के लिए बैंक की लाइन में भी नहीं लगाता https://t.co/CT243GCiaC

He even followed it up with a totally necessary lesson in Bhartiya Sanskriti.

हिंदू धर्म और भारतीय संस्कृति कहती है कि आपको अपनी बूढ़ी माँ और धर्मपत्नी को अपने साथ रखना चाहिए। PM आवास बहुत बड़ा है, थोड़ा दिल बड़ा कीजिए https://t.co/CT243GTTzc

Adv. Somnath Bharti also decided to join the bandwagon.

Is this not height of want of publicity? Informing the world as if he did a great favor to her. Mr. Modi, v do it daily without advertising! https://t.co/YB3lNjfJXA

Soon enough, Twitter swung back into action and trolled the two of them:

1. This one held nothing back.

2. This guy wasn’t even surprised.

3. Someone did their research.

5. One of them even got hold of this gem!

While I do appreciate being in touch with your citizens through social media, using your professional accounts that are viewed by millions in order to diss one another is just unprofessional. I understand that sometimes we do enjoy a furious rant, a sarcastic tweet or an elaborate post written in a fit of rage. I suggest not tainting your professional profile with irrelevant mockery which simply serves as an ego boost or an invitation for backlash.

At least for the sake of citizens looking up to you for inspiration, let’s keep it civil.
