Former Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal clogged timelines following his protests against Congress and BJP leaders. A certain Vinita Deshmukh tweeted: ‘Kejriwal’s tirade against corruption was a master strategy. Now I tend to agree with him on why the Congress and BJP should both be targeted.’ Not everyone agreed. Someone using the handle Bhaksala, for instance, had this to say: ‘Kejriwal is like English lecturers in engineering colleges. They never understand why they are paid less attention.’ There was also this comment from Rohan Kaul: ‘Kejriwal is absolutely spot on with the BJP. Has it been a credible and vociferous opposition? Absolutely not.’
Truly speaking
Also attracting attention was Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, following reports of his making a statement on the coal block allocation issue in Parliament. Faking News tweeted: ‘Manmohan Singh should resign, change his name, and become PM again. Just like some of his parody accounts have done.’ Nakul Shenoy added: ‘People complain that our PM does not speak. And now, when he has diligently prepared a long speech, nobody wants to hear it.’ There was this comment from Ankit Jain: ‘Once in a lifetime paranormal activity expected today — Manmohan Singh to open his mouth in Parliament.’ And from Madhu Kishwar: ‘No prime minister in recent history came with more goodwill than Manmohan Singh. No one cast it away with such disdain as Manmohan Singh.’
