The Congress workers named a public toilet in Allahabad after Rishi Kapoor, apparently as a retort to the actor’s recent comments over the naming of many public institutions after Nehru-Gandhi family.
A group of Congress workers gathered in Shivaji Park in Allahabad and placed a board of Rishi Kapoor’s name outside a Sulabh Shauchalay toilet.
It all started after Rishi Kapoor series of tweets in which he questioned that why everything in India is named after Gandhi and his family.
“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 Rishi Kapoor.
“If roads in Delhi can be changed why not Congress assets/property ke naam (names)? Was in Chandigarh wahan bhi Rajeev Gandhi assets? Socho? Why?(I was in Chandigarh and there too I saw Rajeev Gandhi assets. Why? think?),” the actor tweeted.
When told about the Allahabad toilet, Kapoor said he was thrilled. He added that at least he will be of some use to someone as these people (Congress loyalists) are of no use to anyone. Kapoor said he takes pride in the fact that the Sulabh Shauchalaya is named after him because it is the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s pet project right now, media reported.
