Saina Nehwal to join BJP

January 29, 2020 12:09

Badminton champion Saina Nehwal is likely to join the Bharatiya Janata Party today, reports said.

Just last month, the Olympic medallist was 'cancelled' on Twitter for praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech. She tweeted after the speech: "I'm hearing a thought provoking speech from @narendramodi sir #RamlilaMaidan"

However, there were many other Twitter handles tweeting the exam same exact tweet and people wondered how one could 'play badminton without a spine'.

Twitter users mocked the shuttler. Saina Nehwal is nothing but a paid troll on BJP's payroll, said a user.

Others asked the BJP IT cell to 'tweet from their own account'.
