Mr Kapoor had used strong words to slam the naming of the streets after the Gandhis: "Baap ka maal samajh rakha tha? Har cheez Gandhi ke naam?" and some of his fans and followers were singing in the same tune:
 

I agree with Rishi Kapoor. Too many national assets named after Gandhis.
Some national liabilities also.

Some users however reminded Mr Kapoor that what Gandhis are to Congress, Kapoors are to Bollywood:
 

Hope Rishi Kapoor remembers that what the Gandhi family is to politics the Kapoor family is to Bollywood.

Dynasty. Nepotism.

Meanwhile, Mr Kapoor's biting tweets also brought enraged Congressmen to his Pali Hill residence.

This is what Mr Kapoor had tweeted on Wednesday which started the debate:
 

Change Gandhi family assets named by Congress.Bandra/Worli Sea Link to Lata Mangeshkar or JRD Tata link road. Baap ka maal samjh rakha tha ?

— Rishi Kapoor (@chintskap) May 17, 2016

 

If roads in Delhi can be changed why not Congress assets/property ke naam? Was in Chandigarh wahan bhi Rajeev Gandhi assets? Socho? Why?

— Rishi Kapoor (@chintskap) May 17, 2016

 

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

 

Film City should be named Dilip Kumar,Dev Anand,Ashok Kumar ya Amitabh Bachchan ke naam? Rajeev Gandhi udyog Kya hota hai? Socho doston!

— Rishi Kapoor (@chintskap) May 17, 2016

 

Imagine Mohamad Rafi Mukesh Manna Dey Kishore Kumar venues on their name like in our country. Just a suggestion

— Rishi Kapoor (@chintskap) May 17, 2016

 

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

 

Raj Kapoor has made India proud over the years all over even after his death. Certainly more than What has been perceived by politics.

Mr Kapoor, star of films like Bobby and Karz, was last seen in Shakun Batra's Kapoor and Sons.
