  • Seems Like Rishi Kapoor Is Still Not Done Slamming The Nehru And Gandhi Family
The 63-year-old actor again took to his Twitter handle to post a map of Delhi, highlighting the places named after the Nehrus and Gandhis.
 
“THINK. There are 64 prominent places named after them only in New Delhi! Do you need that many to commemorate them?” he wrote alongside.
 
The ‘Kapoor and Sons’ actor took the Twitter social networking website by storm sometimes back when he posted a thread of tweets, slamming the Congress Party for naming important places- like roadways, railways, airports etc after the Nehrus and Gandhis.
 
“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 ?” he wrote.
 
“If roads in Delhi can be changed why not Congress assets/property ke naam? Was in Chandigarh wahan bhi Rajeev Gandhi assets? Socho? Why?” the actor added.
 
Kapoor, with these allegations, added the fact that the names should be after people from every genre who have contributed to the society. “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. 
 
The veteran actor then asked for suggestion from people on whether or not the names can be after film personalities like Dilip Kumar, Dev Anand, Ashok Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan and others. “Film City should be named Dilip Kumar,Dev Anand,Ashok Kumar ya Amitabh Bachchan ke naam? Rajeev Gandhi udyog Kya hota hai? Socho doston!” Kapoor wrote. 
 
“Imagine Mohamad Rafi Mukesh Manna Dey Kishore Kumar venues on their name like in our country. Just a suggestion” he tweeted.
 
“Why Indira G airport International ? Why not Mahatma Gandhi or Bhagat Singh Ambedkar or on my name Rishi Kapoor. As superficial! What say?” the next tweet read. “Raj Kapoor has made India proud over the years all over even after his death. Certainly more than What has been perceived by politics,” it added.
