In a Twitter face-off between Shashi Tharoor and Ramdas Athawale, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) turned out to be the collateral damage.
The episode started with the Congress MP from Kerala posting a photo of Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman replying to the discussion on the Union Budget 2022, where Union Minister Ramdas Athawale can be seen in the background. Pointing out the Minister’s reaction, Tharoor wrote that the “stunned and incredulous expression” proves even the treasury bench couldn’t believe the Finance Minister’s claims about the economy and her Budget.
