Mumbai: In an explosive comment, veteran Bollywood actor Rishi Kapoor has depreciated the fact that previous Congress governments have named important assets of the country after the Gandhi family. He says the present government must consider renaming the assets after those who have contributed to the society.
“We must name important assets of the country who have contributed to society. Har cheez Gandhi ke naam? (Why everything in the name of Gandhi?) I don’t agree. Sochna log! (Think people!),” the “Bobby” wrote.
Rishi, wrote who belongs to Hindi cinema’s world famous Kapoor clan, tweeted on Tuesday night.
The actor also suggested that the names of legendary singers Mohammed Rafi, Mukesh, Manna Dey and Kishore Kumar be used for important venues. Stressing on the contribution of his legendary father, actor-filmmaker Raj Kapoor, Rishi wrote:
On Tuesday, Minister of State for Extenal Affairs V.K. Singh had demanded that New Delhi’s Akbar Road, where the Congress party headquarters is located, be renamed after Maharana Pratap.
