New Delhi: From ideas on who should actually take over the probe of Sushant Singh Rajput’s death to ways of making the world better, Twitter had some extreme viewpoints Friday.
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav ‘congratulates’ CM Nitish Kumar for taking Patna to the top… at least in one field.
देश में पटना को गंदगी में नंबर-1 स्थान मिलने पर 15 वर्षों के माननीय मुख्यमंत्री श्री नीतीश कुमार जी को कोटि-कोटि बधाई।
चलिए 15 वर्षों में कहीं तो नंबर-1 स्थान प्राप्त किया।

Tathagata Roy sounds pretty happy that he is no longer Meghalaya governor.
I changed my profile,in case u haven’t noticed.
I am no longer bound by niceties of my former office which were far fewer than what many imagined; but they were there. Now for me they don’t exist 😃😃😃
Of course that doesn’t mean I’ll go berserk trolling paid stooges!

Former finance minister Yashwant Sinha’s acid remarks on Madhya Pradesh’s decision to give jobs to only ‘sons of MP’.
MP CM has made a mockery of the Constitution of India by barring outsiders from jobs in MP. This is the new India of the BJP. Will the other CMs of BJP follow suit and the central govt remain a mute spectator? Is India Divided the new BJP slogan?

Journalist and author Mrinal Pande, clashes with writer-illustrator Devadutt Pattanaik on insults to Hindi.
Without the usual arguments ab Hindi's superiority or its suitability as India's national language, neither of which I support,I only wish to record 2 facts:
Hindi is mother tongue to eleven of our most populous states.
Like one's mother, denigration of any mother tongue hurts. https://t.co/H6fGa6dgD9— Mrinal Pande (@MrinalPande1) August 21, 2020
