Odd-even plan: Chetan Bhagat locks horns with Arvind Kejriwal for 'retweeting' abusive trolls

New Delhi: Famous novelist Chetan Bhagat on Thursday locked horns with Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal on Twitter after the AAP chief allegedly retweeted trolls making personal attacks on him.

"Dear CM, when you retweet trolls making personal attacks on me,you tacitly encourage them. And that's what they are doing right now. Thanks. (sic)," Chetan Bhagat tweeted.

Dear CM, instead of retweeting my trolls, why not respectfully discuss apprehensions people may have on a scheme? pic.twitter.com/Z7XXcw6Yhz — Chetan Bhagat (@chetan_bhagat) December 10, 2015

It all started when Chetan Bhagat took to Twitter to criticise the Delhi's government's plan to exempt women-only cars under odd-even formula.

"So odd-even rule doesn't apply to women only cars, for safety. Because men, you know, can never be robbed, attacked, feel unsafe or killed," Chetan Bhagat had tweeted.

Women exempt from odd-even rule. Soon, men in Delhi are going to wrap dupattas around their heads and driving their cars. Go Delhi go! — Chetan Bhagat (@chetan_bhagat) December 10, 2015

Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi's AAP government has decided to implement the odd-even formula to curb air pollution in the national capital.
