Rajya Sabha MP Priyanka Chaturvedi could also not stop herself from responding to a meme, which showed a cut-out of an Indian map filled with soan papdi images. The post read: “Pre-Diwali satellite view of India by NASA.”
To this, the Rajya Sabha member, who is with Uddhav Thackeray's party, replied saying: “Stop hating on soan papdi folks!”
