Nitish Kumar advertises in Pakistani daily: Bihar CM mocks BJP leader's ignorance

On Friday, BJP minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy and senior leader Sushil Kumar Modi, had mocked Nitish Kumar for allegedly publishing ads in Dawn, a Pakistani newspaper. They had posted screenshots to make their point, but what they had actually done was post screenshots of the online version of Dawn. While the Twitterati mocked Sushil Kumar Modi and Rajiv Pratap Rudy for their lack of knowledge, Nitish Kumar took to Twitter to mock them.

He wrote on Twitter that Narendra Modi made so many ridiculous statements before the 2014 Lok Sabha elections yet his ministers don’t understand GoogleAds. He also said that it seems like the leaders are unaware of the basic aspects of the digital world and perhaps they could take Sundar Pichai’s (Google CEO) help. He also claimed that the BJP would lose overwhelmingly in Bihar.  

मोदीजी कम से कम अपने नेताओं को डिजिटल दुनिया के बुनियादी पहलुओं से तो अवगत कराइये. इस काम में @SundarPichai जी भी आपकी मदद कर ही सकते हैं
