Twitterati Furious Over Kejriwal’s Tweet on Jayalalithaa’s Death

Arvind Kejriwal and politics at the time of Amma’s death.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa passed away late on Monday night, breathing her last at 11:30 pm after suffering a cardiac arrest on Sunday.

As soon as the news broke early on Tuesday morning, celebs and politicians logged on to social media to pay their last respects to the Iron Lady of Tamil Nadu.

The Delhi Chief Minister was not far behind. But little did he know that his tweet would infuriate Twitterati and that he’d get trolled mercilessly.

V sad to hear the demise of Amma. A very very popular leader. Aam admi's leader. May her soul rest in peace.

Now the tweet seems pretty normal. So what is it that caused so much anger?

Well....

It wasn’t the most frequently used word by Kejriwal, but the fact that the Delhi CM tried to mix politics with Amma’s death was too much for some to bear.

Dirty Politics?
