What are the odds of BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya uniting people across the political spectrum? And what are the chances of him being called out by supporters of the Indian right-wing?
Since all of that happened on Wednesday, Malviya deleted his tweet, which said “everyone is an indexation specialist tonight”. He was merely trying to dismiss criticism of the budget decision to eliminate indexation in property sales.
But many said he regularly “trolled” citizens, and some even demanded an overhaul of the BJP IT cell. Among those who hit back was Ratan Sharda, an RSS veteran who has written several books on the Sangh and is a columnist for its mouthpiece Organiser.
Sharda said that “this attitude of BJP IT Cell is a serious problem. Instead of coming up with simplified communication about the good points of Budget 2024, he ends up trolling citizens.”
As Malviya deleted the tweet, Sharda remarked that “let better senses prevail”.
It seems @amitmalviya has deleted the tweet. Let better senses prevail. https://t.co/cObEDHFBd4

The arrogance of minions in @BJP4India is a reflection of its leadership. They're tone deaf to the demands of people on the ground and only interested in appeasing communities.

BJP IT Cell under Malviya has become ineffective. It is hopeless.

While the government is creating fiscally prudent budget, not everyone understands the nuances. Finance Minister should meet people in different cities and address queries and concerns. And instead of being…
@BJP4India @JPNadda please seriously think of changing whole of it cell team. @AmitShah

Ratan you are spot on. The arrogance,egoistic and blatant brazen out attitude of behaviour of ruling party govt, ministers,leaders including @amitmalviya and so called RW gang is becoming toxic.

This is what Amit Malviya has been doing for the last 10 years.
This is what he has been instructed to do.
This is what he is capable of. Don’t pressurise him to do something beyond his capabilities.
People, anyways do not expect anything sensible from him.
