Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren took to Twitter and took jibe at Prime Minister Modi on Thursday saying that the PM shared his ‘mann ki baat’. He went on to say that the Prime Minister did not listen to his point of view on the pandemic and went on to accuse him of not prioritising the welfare of the country. This blew up overnight and resulted in triggering a lot of hate tweets against the Prime Minister.
Commenting on this and retweeting it on her handle, Times Now’s Navika Kumar came to the Prime Minister’s defence. She accused the Jharkhand CM of taking potshots at the Prime Minister to gain publicity.
Her tweet read, “Has it really come to this now? In a pandemic when PM @narendramodi calls up a CM to enquire about the COVID situation in the state this is what a CM says? Is propriety dead? Is respect/courtesy extinct? Petty posturing more imp than human lives? PM abused for helping? Shocking.” News18’s Amish Devgan also took Navika’s side and commented that politics had stooped to a new low.
Earlier, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal came under criticism after violating official protocol. He had live broadcasted the meeting that the PM had held with the Chief Ministers of all the states.
