Congress Paid Condolence To Sridevi & Got Harshly Trolled For This Major Error, Had To Delete Tweet

On Saturday night, the Indian cinema lost one of its most beautiful and talented gems Sridevi who took her last breathe in Dubai. She was 54 and the reason for her untimely death is cardiac arrest.

The nation is in a state of shock as it is difficult to believe that we will not be able to see Sridevi anymore. Many politicians, celebrities and common people have taken to Twitter to outpour feelings of grief and distress.

The official Twitter handle of Congress also paid its tribute to the actress and wrote,

“We regret to hear about the passing away of Sridevi. An actor par excellence. A legend who will continue to live in our hearts through her stellar body of work.

Our deepest condolences to her loved ones.

She was awarded the Padma Shri by the UPA Govt in 2013.”

Here’s the tweet:

However, what didn’t go well with Twitterati was that Congress tried to praise itself by telling that Sridevi was awarded with Padma Shri by UPA government in 2013. People started trolling Congress, accusing the party for giving a political angle to the death of the actress.

Don’t politicise death:

Why left this?

BJP spokesperson Tajinder Bagga also slammed Congress and asked the party not to play politics over someone’s death.

Later, the tweet was edited by the Twitter handle of Congress and the line which spoke about the Padma Shri award was deleted.
