When questioned by reporters, Vijayvargiya was quoted by PTI, saying , "I suspected these workers were residents of Bangladesh. Two days after I became suspicious, they stopped working at my house. "I have not filed any police complaint yet. I only mentioned this incident to warn people."
Tweeted by PTI on its official account, the comment received flak from the netizens with many trolling the leader
The other day I saw an Uber driver drinking Frooti. I think he's stuck in the 90s.
