Twitter users belonging Aam Aadmi Party and its rivals on Tuesday crossed swords over the second phase of Delhi’s car-rationing Odd-Even scheme.
Kejriwal’s detractors to microblogging site to blame the Delhi chief minister, Arvind Kejriwal, for the alleged failure of Odd-Even scheme in its phase two as commuters complained of paying exorbitant fares to app-based taxis.
Delhi chief minister was quick to take note of complaints and ordered to impound taxis, which were found to be charging more than the prescribed rates.
But, that was not enough for him invite criticism on twitter.
Here is how Kejriwal’s political opponents reacted on twitter:
Every morning Dilli worries about which car to take, will they get auto, how much will they have to pay? All thanks to #TughlaqCMKejriwal.

Though the supporters of Prime Minister Modi attempted to launch their own counter by tweeting with #BestPMModi. But, it didn’t appear to take off in the absence of support from sizeable number of twitter users.
