Congress workers on Tuesday named a public toilet in Allahabad after Rishi Kapoor, apparently as a retort to the actor’s recent rant over the naming of many public institutions after Nehru-Gandhi family.
Some Congress workers, from the youth wing of the party, hung a poster, naming a public toilet in the Shivaji Park area after the Bollywood film actor and inviting the people to use the public toilet more and more.
Last week, Kapoor in a series of tweets questioned why “har cheez” (everything) in the country is named after the Gandhis.
“Change Gandhi family assets named by Congress... Baap ka maal samjh rakha tha? [Do they consider it their father’s property?],” tweeted the 63-year-old actor.
“If roads in Delhi can be changed why not Congress assets/property ke naam [name]? Was in Chandigarh wahan bhi [there also] Rajeev Gandhi assets? Socho? [Think?] Why?” the veteran wrote.
“We must name important assets of the country who have contributed to society. Har cheez Gandhi ke naam? I don’t agree. Sochna log! [Think people]!” said another tweet Kapoor.
“Why Indira Gandhi airport International? Why not Mahatma Gandhi or Bhagat Singh Ambedkar or on my name Rishi Kapoor. As superficial! What say?” Kapoor tweeted.
