As revelers across India celebrated the festival of colors, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari took a jibe at Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal that has left many laughing.
In a video doing the rounds on social media, Tiwari is seen gleefully applying gulal to people’s faces while chanting, “Koi khele rail me, koi khele jail me…” (Some play politics from jail, some from outside).
Though he didn’t name anyone, he was clearly taking an indirect dig at Kejriwal and the multiple cases lodged against him over his various protests.
Tiwari, known for his comic timing and rhyming barbs at opponents, seemed to be in a playful mood on Holi. His cheeky rhyme played on the CM’s past associations and stirred smiles.
Netizens praised Tiwari for his witty wordplay,, highlighting perceived contradictions between AAP’s claims and actions.
While Kejriwal has largely avoided reacting, the video shows even festivals can become opportunities for political one-upmanship in the capital’s colorful factional feuds.
Tiwari once again showed humour and local linguistic skills can be potent political weapons, especially on a pleasant day like Holi.
