Twitteratti reacts to Mumbai MLA gifting his underage son a Mercedes while people continue to grapple with demonetisation

It seems Kadam went overboard with love for his son on his birthday as he took to micro-blogging site Twitter to post a photo of his gleaming son with the luxury car. He wrote: “#HappyBirthday to my dearest son @AumRKadam !!! This my loving gift for him !!!”

Well, Twitter was divided over his “loving gift” for his son. People are yet to get past the drastic effects that the government’s decision has caused. Many continue to queue up in front of ATMs and banks to buy the bare basics while politicians are indulging in open display of wealth.

Many Twitter users wondered what was he thinking while gifting his underaged son a car, and others had serious doubts about the government’s demonetisation decision — that if this is the case, then how effective is it going to be, after all. Others absolutely wanted Kadam to adopt them!

This was the MLA’s tweet.

While it seems, the “dashing” MLA (which is what he has described himself as in his Twitter bio) has ruffled some feathers after his gift for his son, there are other Twitter users reminsicing their childhood birthday memeories. As Sree Krishnan V, a Twitter user aptly puts: “I used to get Gems packet.”
