Shashi Tharoor Pens Poem, On Row Over Arvind Kejriwal’s Sitting Posture,

Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor today jumped into an online row over Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s mannerism while participating in a video conference with the Prime Minister. While the BJP has attacked Mr Kejriwal for his sitting posture, Mr Tharoor took aim at both the BJP and the Aam Aadmi Party convenor through a short poem.

A video clip showing Mr Kejriwal leaning back in his seat with his hands stretched behind the chair during a recent video conference with PM Modi has caused a stir on social media. The clip, tweeted by Amit Malviya two days ago, shows state Chief Ministers in a video grid while PM Modi is speaking to them. The 19-second clip posted by Mr Malviya shows the Delhi Chief Minister in a relaxed position, which the BJP IT cell chief termed “uncouth”, while listening to the PM. 

“Arvind Kejriwal continues to disgrace himself with uncouth mannerism…,” Mr Malviya had posted along with the clip.
