Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and his predecessor Raman Singh engaged in a Tweeter spat over a report published in a Hindi newspaper highlighting shabby condition of a model Gauthan (cow) shelter at Amora village in Mungeli district, on Saturday.
Singh posted a clipping from the newspaper with a photograph of locked front gate of the model Gauthan. The news narrated the sorry state of affairs at the cow shelter which did not have any bovine.
Raman Singh while tagging CM Baghel wrote- “You are probably unaware of the ground situation of Gothan, which has got the model status in your files. People are seeking your reply after looking at the locked gate and the absence of cows.”
The tweet evoked sharp response from the twitteratis. Raman Singh’s post received over 500 likes, 80 retweet and around 70 comments by evening hours.
Two hours later around 12:38 pm Chief Minister while quoting an Urdu poet, Tanvir Samani posted an image of the same cow shelter where the compound was seen filled with cattle.
CM Baghel’s reply also received good traction and received over 850 likes, 200 retweets and more than 70 comments.
