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.

TTD chairman requests Centre to designate Tirumala as no-fly zone
Tirupati, Mar (PTI): TTD chairman B R Naidu on Saturday urged for Civil Aviation Minister K Ram Mohan Naidu's intervention to designate Tirumala as a no-fly zone.
Tirumala should be declared a no-fly zone, keeping in mind the principles of Agama Shastra (sacred texts), sanctity of the temple and safety and sentiments of the devotees, he said.
"Low flying planes, helicopters and other aerial activities on the Tirumala hill are disturbing the sacred atmosphere around the Srivari (Lord Venkateswara) temple," said Naidu.
To protect the sanctity and cultural and spiritual heritage of Tirumala, the TTD Chairman sought the Union Minister to respond in this matter for appropriate action.
Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) is the custodian of the famous Lord Venkateswara Temple.
