Uttarakhand CM Says America Enslaved India For 200 Years, Sparks Meme Fest On Twitter

The new chief minister of Uttarakhand, Tirath Singh Rawat is making headlines for all the wrong reasons lately. Earlier he created a controversy when he slammed the women who wear ripped jeans as he asked what message such women would give to the society and what ethics they would give to their children. Not just common people but many celebs criticised Tirath Singh Rawat for his statement and #RippedJeans trended on the micro-blogging site Twitter as women started posting their photos while wearing ripped jeans.

Recently, the Uttarakhand chief minister made one more goof-up when he said that America ruled India for 200 years. While speaking in an event, the CM Tirath Singh Rawat says that in comparison to other countries, India has been dealing with the coronavirus pandemic in a far better manner. He adds that America which ruled over India for around 200 years and also ruled over other countries is having trouble in handling the pandemic at the moment.

Well if this was not enough, Tirath Singh Rawat once again attracted haters when he was talking about the good manner in which the Modi government handled the COVID-19 outbreak and helped the poor by providing 5 kg ration free on one unit. He added that a family of 10 got 50 kg ration while 20 members got 100 kg but there were some who were jealous of those who got 100 kg because they got only 10 kg (as they were 2 members). He said that such people should have given birth to 20 kids when it was the time and then took a jibe at them by asking why they gave birth to 2 only.
