Allahabad: Furious over Bollywood veteran Rishi Kapoor, Congress supporters in Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh today responded to his hard-hitting remarks on Congress by naming a toilet after him.
Kapoor, in a series of tweets on May 17, came down hard on Congress for naming important places in the country after the Gandhi family.
To this, supporters of Congress in Allahabad reacted strongly and even staged a protest. They ended up naming a Sulabh toilet in Shivaji Park after his name.
Slamming the Congress, the ‘Kapoor and Sons’ actor said the names of the prominent places should be changed after those who worked for the welfare of the country.
“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? (Did they consider it family property?)"
“We must name important assets of the country who have contributed to society. Har cheez Gandhi ke naam? I don’t agree. Sochna log!” he tweeted.
A protest was also carried out in front of his house on Wednesday by the Congress supporters.
However, reacting to his comments, Congress said the veteran actor is not aware of Gandhi family’s contribution towards nation-building.
