RGV defends 'Achhe Din' comment about lady MLA Controversy's favorite child Ram Gopal Verma, is known for grabbing limelight with Twitter handle. RGV took a nasty dig at one of the woman MLA, Angoorlata Deka. He praised the MLA for her looks and that he loved politics for the first time. Ram Gopal Varma had mentioned on his twitter handle that, "If MLA can look like this, Achche din aagaye hai. Thank you Angoorlataji,Thank you Modiji. 1st time I love politics."
Soon after Verma posted this on Twitter, users started blasting him over the tweet. Many have condemned the tweet made by RGV what they call the worst kind of objectification. Within seconds, the filmmaker was barraged by tweets with #SaySorryRGV.
After realizing that his comments have evoked criticism from netizens, RGV tweeted again: 'With regards to my comment on Angoorlataji, I was just paying a compliment to her. Since most MLA's don't look good, it was such a change.'
He further said: 'My every compliment is taken as negative comment...I don't know if it's the lack of their English knowledge or their dumbness quotient.'
