Tagging a media report on the BJP's criticism of Kejriwal, Mr. Tharoor shared a poem – "There once was a CM of Delhi who stretched from his head to his belly; The onscreen reticulation revealed his pandiculation so BJP frothed & quivered like jelly!" Tweeting a video of Mr. Modi's interaction with chief ministers, Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) IT cell head Amit Malviya had said, "Arvind Kejriwal continues to disgrace himself with uncouth mannerism." In the video, Mr. Kejriwal was seen sitting in a relaxed manner with his hands behind his head.
Asking whether this is how a chief minister should behave at an important meeting, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla had wondered whether Mr. Kejriwal was "bored or mannerless or both" The virtual meeting of the prime minister with the chief ministers was convened to discuss the COVID-19 situation in the country.
