Netizens take dig at Kailash Vijayvargiya as he suspects workers nationality over eating 'only poha'

Amid enough heated exchanges, protests and violent clashes over Citizenship Amendment Act, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kailash Vijayvargiya has made a bizarre statement leaving netizens erupt a ‘Poha’ bomb on social media.

Party’s general secretary Vijayvargiya, while speaking at a seminar in support of CAA on Thursday, said that he suspected some of the labourers carrying out construction work at his house recently were likely to be Bangladeshis as they had “strange” eating habits and were consuming only ‘poha’ (flattened rice). Their “strange” eating habits aroused suspicion about their nationality.

“When a new room was being added at my house recently, I found eating habits of some of the workers “strange” as “they were eating only `poha’ (flattened rice)”, he said.

Vijayvargiya further mentioned that two days later after he became suspicious, they stopped working at his house.“I have not filed any police complaint yet. I only mentioned this incident to warn people,” he said.
