India Today
Union minister Ramdas Athawale and Congress MP Shashi Tharoor exchanged barbs on Twitter on Thursday. Here's what happened.
Ramdas Athawale and Shashi Tharoor entered into a Twitter feud on Thursday over a tweet the Congress MP made in jest about the Union minister.
Tharoor took to Twitter to post a screengrab from Sansad TV's coverage of Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's speech in the Lok Sabha.
In the picture, Union minister Ramdas Athawale can be seen sitting with a 'stunned expression' on the bench behind the Finance Minister.
Referring to the picture, Shashi Tharoor wrote on Twitter: "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!"

Soon after, Athawale responded to Tharoor by pointing out grammatical errors in his tweet.
Ramdas Athawale wrote on Twitter: "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!"
