Twitteratis today slammed Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb over his remarks questioning the rationale behind crowning Diana Hayden "Miss World" 21 years ago even as he praised Aishwarya Rai for the same award, saying she "truly represents the Indian women".
Activist Kavita Krishnan termed his comments as "stupid, sexist and communal".
"If biplab deb didn't exist, a comic writer would have invented him," columnist Salil Tripathi tweeted.
Delhi CM advisor Nagendar Sharma in a tweet said, "Though we are still in April, this most likely could qualify for the most ridiculous quote of 2018."
A senior journalist tweeted, "One reason for which I should cheer the verdict in Tripura is that the nation found a new entertainer."
