Kapil Sharma's ANGRY Tweet To PM Narendra Modi Controversy Explained

Comedian Kapil Sharma, one of the top entertainers on Indian television, was not being funny on Friday morning when he tagged Prime Minister Narendra Modi in angst-ridden tweets complaining about corruption, also sarcastically referring to "Achhe Din".

Kapil Sharma alleged that he had been asked for a Rs 5 lakh bribe by Mumbai's civic body BMC for setting up an office.

He tweeted:
"I am paying 15 cr income tax from last 5 year n still i have to pay 5 lacs bribe to BMC office for making my office @narendramodi
"Yeh hain aapke achhe din ? @narendramodi

The twin forces of social media and Kapil Sharma extracted quick results.
Three hours after the post, which had been re-tweeted over 2,500 times, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis ordered action

With his posts fuelling a debate on corruption and also a political crossfire, Mr Sharma posted another tweet in the evening.

"I just voiced my concern on the corruption I faced with certain individuals..Its No blame on any political party be it BJP, MNS or ShivSena"

BMC also wrote to him asking him to file a complaint and to name the official who allegedly demanded bribe
