The wit and trademark homey charm were gone – instead @chintskap poured out anger. On Tuesday, Rishi Kapoor took to Twitter to irately call for national assets that have been named after the Gandhi clan to be rechristened.
"Change Gandhi family assets named by Congress. Bandra/Worli Sea Link to Lata Mangeshkar or JRD Tata link road," Kapoor began his tirade." Baap ka maal samjh rakha tha?" Do they consider it their father's property?
He continued:
If roads in Delhi can be changed why not Congress assets/property ke naam? Was in Chandigarh wahan bhi Rajeev Gandhi assets? Socho? Why?

His suggestion:
We must name important assets of the country who have contributed to society. Har cheez Gandhi ke naam? I don't agree. Sochna log!
— Rishi Kapoor (@chintskap) May 17, 2016
He continued:
Imagine Mohamad Rafi Mukesh Manna Dey Kishore Kumar venues on their name like in our country. Just a suggestion

Why Indira G airport International ? Why not Mahatma Gandhi or Bhagat Singh Ambedkar or on my name Rishi Kapoor. As superficial! What say?
— Rishi Kapoor (@chintskap) May 17, 2016
He ended the round of tweeting with:
Raj Kapoor has made India proud over the years all over even after his death. Certainly more than What has been perceived by politics.

The 63-year-old star has a fan following of over 1.7 million on Twitter, some of whom didn’t take well to his outpouring.

@chintskap There is a Rafi Marg in Delhi. Most people think it is named after Mohammed Rafi and not Rafi Ahmed Kidwai

. @chintskap keep attacking them; it's so much safer as they don't use trolls to abuse you. Good choice.
