People on Twitter rallied for her help as they offered suggestions and solutions. A few others also criticised her tweet, saying that the Lok Sabha MP is only bothered about her pictures.
“Thousands forced to drop out of school, lost their jobs, are going hungry. But MP madam is only bothered about her pictures and videos. Must hurt so much to not be able to post TikToks/Reels,” commented Subham Mitra, a Twitter user.

Another Twitter user, Pradosh Chandra Mitter drew parallels between people losing everything during natural disasters and the MP losing her pictures. “People lost everything in flood, rain and cyclone, Covid. They don’t know whether to cry or laugh seeing this tweet from an elected representative who didn’t tweet anything at least to show her support and an assuring word for them,” tweeted Mitter.
