New Delhi: Congress Parliamentarian Shashi Tharoor, who is known for his rich vocabulary and inclination to use words that common people are unaware of, has now been called out for spelling errors in a Twitter post.
It was none other than Union Minister Ramdas Athawale who took a dig at the Thiruvananthapuram MP after the latter posted a visual from the Budget debate.
“Nearly two-hour rely to the Bydget debate. The stunned & incredulous expression on Minister @RamdasAthawale’s face says it all: even the Treasury benches can’t believe FinMin @nsitharaman’s claims about the economy & her Budget!,” tweeted Tharoor.
Athawale’s response must have taken the Congress leader by surprise. “Dear Shashi Tharoor ji, they say one is bound to make mistakes while making unnecessary claims and statements. It’s not “Bydget” but BUDGET. Also, not rely but “reply”! Well, we understand!”
Tharoor then responded that he stands corrected. “Careless typing is a bigger sin than bad English! But while you’re on a roll, there’s someone at JNU who could benefit from your tuition…,” he said.
This was an apparent dig at the new Vice-Chancellor of the central university who has been criticised for grammatical errors in her letter to students and faculty members.
