Tweeples don’t take much of a shine to author Chetan Bhagat, and trolling him seems to be quite a hobby. So, as soon as he tweeted against the Delhi government’s odd even rule to cut down pollution in the city, a majority of Twitterati criticised him for his opinion.

Though, others on social media have also raised concerns over its implementation in the long run after a two-week trial stage, Bhagat’s statement didn’t go down well with many. According to the ‘Two States’ author, the move will halt productivity. “At a time when we need economic growth and jobs, somebody decides to get half the vehicles off the roads and destroy productivity. Nice,” he wrote.

@chetan_bhagat people like you are the reason why I feel IIMs should introduce Humanities & Environment in their syllabus

His idea got so widely shared that AAP leader Kumar Vishwas retweeted his post adding a comment ‘Judge of Aaja Nachle’.

To which, he quickly responded.

Wow. Really classy how our elected lawmakers act sometimes. Personal attacks when no logical arguments exist. https://t.co/NeQLSM7SmK

Also, this is not the first time Bhagat got trolled on Twitter. Last month, he mocked historians that angered people on social media, and the author was denigrated for the same.
