Angry Rishi Kapoor BLASTS Congress & Gandhi family for naming Indian assets after them; Says, ''Baap Ka Maal samjh rakha tha?'

Singh had demanded that New Delhi's Akbar Road, where the Congress party headquarters is located, be renamed after Maharana Pratap. Here are the series of tweets, Rishi posted on his account: https://twitter.com/chintskap/status/732615084426432512 "Change Gandhi family assets named by Congress.

Baap ka maal samajh rakha tha," Rishi, who belongs to Hindi cinema's world famous Kapoor clan, tweeted on Tuesday night.   https://twitter.com/chintskap/status/732624555986944000 https://twitter.com/chintskap/status/732625668811300864 "We must name important assets of the country who have contributed to society. Har cheez Gandhi ke naam? (Why everything in the name of Gandhi?) I don't agree. Sochna log! (Think people!)," the "Bobby" wrote. https://twitter.com/chintskap/status/732626814611283968 Rishi even demanded that "Film City should be named Dilip Kumar, Dev Anand, Ashok Kumar ya Amitabh Bachchan ke naam? Rajeev Gandhi udyog Kya hota hai? Socho doston!"   https://twitter.com/chintskap/status/732629365658279936 The actor also suggested that the names of legendary singers Mohammed Rafi, Mukesh, Manna Dey and Kishore Kumar be used for important venues. https://twitter.com/chintskap/status/732631430262448129 "Why Indira G airport International? Why not Mahatma Gandhi or Bhagat Singh, Ambedkar or on my name Rishi Kapoor. As superficial! What say," Rishi asked. https://twitter.com/chintskap/status/732634080844472320 Stressing on the contribution of his legendary father, actor-filmmaker Raj Kapoor, Rishi wrote: "Raj Kapoor has made India proud over the years all over even after his death. Certainly more than what has been perceived by politics."
