She tweeted after the speech: “I’m hearing a thought provoking speech from @narendramodi sir #RamlilaMaidan”There were many other Twitter handles tweeting the exam same exact tweet.
Some wondered how one could ‘play badminton without a spine’. Twitter users mocked the shuttler. Saina Nehwal is nothing but a paid troll on BJP’s payroll, said a user. Others asked the BJP IT cell to ‘tweet from their own account’. This isn’t the first time Saina Nehwal has been acussed for ‘copy-pasting’ tweets.
