Akshay Kumar deletes old tweet on ‘cleaning up bicycles’ to counter rising fuel prices
Bollywood, May 21: “Guys, I think it’s time to clean up your bicycles and hit the road! As per sources, expecting another petrol price hike”. Akshay Kumar’s tweet on rising petrol prices is timeless. It is as applicable today as it was in 2012 when Akshay Kumar tweeted it. This old tweet was dug out by Twitter users but before everyone could have a good laugh, Akshay Kumar decided to delete it.
We wonder what made Akshay Kumar delete his tweet. Is it because he doesn’t want to be seen as critical of the BJP government? Is it because he doesn’t want people to learn about his double standards? The reasons for deleting the tweet are best known to him.
Since Akshay Kumar doesn’t want people to see this tweet, he may not be very pleased to know that his tweet is archived for posterity.
Many of those who shared jokes and witty one-liners on social media before 2014 have fallen silent now. So much so that Twitter users compete with each other to dig out old tweets and question the hypocrisy behind their silence.
Prominent Bollywood stars who are silent now include Amitabh Bachchan who has not cracked any petrol joke after 2014.
Here is a parting gift for Akshay Kumar. A tweet he forgot to delete.
Now that there is a BJP government in the Centre, we hope that Akshay Kumar is coping well with rocketing petrol prices. We wish him luck.

Home Minister Amit Shah is the director of JDS MP Prajwal Revanna's pen drive case: Minister Priyank
Kalaburagi: Priyank Kharge, Minister of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj, in a press conference at the Congress office in the city on Monday said that Union Home Minister Amit Shah is the director of the pen drive case involving JDS MP Prajwal Revanna.
Kharge also attacked the BJP for it's reluctance to condemn Prajwal Revanna's actions, instead opting to divert attention by calling for investigations into the video's release and pushing for a CBI inquiry.
He questioned the lack of action from the central government in safeguarding the dignity of the women involved and condemned its action of not yet canceling the diplomatic passport of Prajwal Revanna.
Speaking on the limitations of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) in handling the case, Kharge stressed the necessity for cooperation from the Centre to arrest Prajwal Revanna from abroad. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has already reached out to the Centre regarding this matter.
Legislative council member Shakala Allamaprabhu Patil, Tippanappa Kamakanur, former minister Revunayaka Belamagi, Congress party's Jagadev Guttedar, Chairman of Kalaburagi Urban Development Authority Mazhar Alam Khan, and Eranna Jhalaki were present.
