New Delhi: From taking lessons from Nazi Germany to giving it back to the Chinese Bollywood style, Twitter was in the mood for some good ol’ schooling.
First, however, politics: looks like Congress leader and former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Kamal Nath is still fuming over the coup within his government in March. Here, he reacts sharply to the expansion of the BJP state cabinet.
लोकतंत्र के इतिहास में मध्यप्रदेश का मंत्रिमंडल ऐसा मंत्रिमंडल है , जिसमें कुल 33 मंत्रियो में से 14 वर्तमान में विधायक ही नहीं है।

प्रदेश की जनता के साथ मज़ाक है।— Office Of Kamal Nath (@OfficeOfKNath) July 2, 2020
