Tejasvi Surya, BJP's Bengaluru South Lok Sabha member was trolled by a section of social media users for relishing dosa and promoting an eatery in his constituency, when many parts of the city are reeling under torrential rains and floods.
A 40-second video shared by Congress’ national social media coordinator Lavanya Ballal shows Surya eating 'Butter Masala Dosa' and 'Uppittu' at an eatery in Padmanabhanagar and praising its quality and taste. In the now viral video, the national president of BJP Yuva Morcha is also heard recommending it to people asking them to come and taste the food at the eatery.
Several Twitter users including actress and former Congress MP Ramya have shared Surya's video online.
While several social media users criticised Tejasvi Surya, several supported him saying that many parts in his constituency are not affected in the Bengaluru deluge.
Karnataka's capital city is facing severe flooding after unprecedented rainfall. From roads to basements, two zones of Bengaluru are submerged due to waterlogging.
