Bengaluru: Karnataka BJP General Secretary and Minister in newly formed cabinet of CM Yediyurappa on Wednesday criticised former Union Home Minister and Finance Minister P Chidambaram after his arrest adding that he was hiding in his house in New Delhi to gain sympathy, evading arrest by CBI and ED.
Ravi in a tweet also called Chidambaram ‘Crook who as Union Home Minister coined “Hindu Terror”.
“This Crook who as Union Home Minister coined "Hindu Terror" is holed up like a Petty Thief” Ravi wrote in the tweet.
“In a scene straight out from a movie, @INCIndia leader @PChidambaram_IN is creating a scene to gain sympathy by hiding in his house in New Delhi” he added while also writing ‘What goes around comes around’ in the tweet.
Twitterati however did not take the tweet lightly and schooled the new minister for posting the tweet. A few of the users stressed Ravi to concentrate on his role as the minister of the state and not indulge in such controversies, while others recalled hit and run accident case involving his car to remind him of his cases that are still pending.
One of the users called Ravi as ‘Crook’ adding that he was a cabinet minister behaving like BJP’s IT Cell troll.
Another user commented “Sir, Do you need this tweet? Is it part of your job description? Is it not the job of BJP high command? Please stay away from unnecessary national issues. Concentrate on your district and your ministry work. Thousands are in relief centres of Mudigere. Solve their problems”.

India & Israel elevate ties to special strategic partnership, vow to soon conclude free trade deal
Jerusalem (PTI): India and Israel on Thursday elevated their "time-tested" relationship to a special strategic partnership and agreed to soon firm up a "mutually beneficial" free trade deal even as Prime Minister Narendra Modi strongly backed the Gaza peace initiative, asserting that humanity must never become a victim of conflict.
Following talks between Modi and his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu, the two sides inked a plethora of agreements to expand cooperation in areas of trade, agriculture, energy, cyberspace and digital payment.
India and Israel also vowed to expand their already close defence partnership by working towards joint development and joint production of military hardware under the framework of the transfer of technologies.
In his media statement, Modi said India's security interest is linked to peace and stability in the Middle East, adding that New Delhi fully supports the Gaza Peace Initiative.
"India's stance is clear: humanity must never become a victim of conflict. A path to peace has been created through the Gaza Peace Plan. India has fully supported these efforts," he said.
"In the future as well, we will continue dialogue and cooperation with all countries," he said.
PM Modi landed in Israel on Wednesday on a two-day visit. It is his second visit to Israel in nine years.
In his remarks, the prime minister said India and Israel have a united view that there is no place for terrorism in the world and both sides stand shoulder-to-shoulder in countering terrorism and its supporters.
"Our relationship is founded on the strong bedrock of deep trust, shared democratic values, and human sensitivities. Our bond has stood the test of every trial of time," he said.
"Today, we have taken the historic decision to elevate our time-tested partnership to the status of a 'Special Strategic Partnership'," he said.
The prime minister also announced the establishment of an India-Israel critical and emerging technologies partnership to impart a new momentum for cooperation in areas of artificial intelligence, quantum, and critical minerals. "I am pleased that an agreement has been reached for the use of UPI in Israel," he said.
The prime minister, referring to the threat of terrorism, said India and Israel will continue to confront the menace unitedly.
"India and Israel are completely clear that there is no place for terrorism in the world. In any form, in any expression, terrorism cannot be accepted," he said.
"We have stood shoulder-to-shoulder in opposing terrorism and its supporters, and we will continue to do so," he added.
India and Israel also discussed the implementation of the India-Middle East Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) and cooperation under the framework of I2U2 (India-Israel-UAE-USA).
