Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi’s tweet over enraged Congress workers forcing the closure of an eatery in Mumbai for issuing bills mocking the UPA government for imposing service tax on AC restaurants was trending on twitter on Tuesday.
“Height of intolerance!” tweeted Modi on his twitter handle @narendramodi where he also posted a photo of the bill issued by the restaurant.
He also added links to a newspaper photograph of the bill for Rs 240, which read at the bottom: “As per UPA govt eating money (2G, coal, CWG scam) is a necessity and eating food in AC restaurants is a luxury.”
Modi’s tweet was promptly retweeted even as Congress leaders held that their workers had not forced the closure of the restaurant.
Sanjay Kaul, a BJP supporter, said on twitter: Forget the meal, I am willing to pay R240 just for the bill. Another tweet said, “You were so concerned about shutting down of a stupid (anti-Modi) web page. Why no response now?”
