Ramdas Athawale and Shashi Tharoor entered into a Twitter feud on Thursday over a tweet the Congress MP made in jest about the Union minister.
Tharoor took to Twitter to post a screengrab from Sansad TV’s coverage of Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s speech in the Lok Sabha.
In the picture, Union minister Ramdas Athawale can be seen sitting with a ‘stunned expression’ on the bench behind the Finance Minister.
Referring to the picture, Shashi Tharoor wrote on Twitter: “Nearly two-hour rely to the Bydget debate. The stunned & incredulous expression on Minister @RamdasAthawale’s face says it all: even the Treasury benches can’t believe FinMin @nsitharaman’s claims about the economy & her budget!”

Soon after, Athawale responded to Tharoor by pointing out grammatical errors in his tweet.
Ramdas Athawale wrote on Twitter: “Dear Shashi Tharoor ji, they say one is bound to make mistakes while making unnecessary claims and statements. It’s not “Bydget” but BUDGET. Also, not rely but “reply”! Well, we understand!”
Dear Shashi Tharoor ji, they say one is bound to make mistakes while making unnecessary claims and statements.
It’s not “Bydget” but BUDGET.
So, not rely but “reply”!
Well, we understand! https://t.co/sG9aNtbykT

Later, Shashi Tharoor replied to one of the comments made on his tweet.
After a Twitter user asked him whether there is a need to look up the meanings of “rely” and “budget”, Tharoor wrote in response, “blame it on my fat tweeting thumbs!”

FM addresses Lok Sabha
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman addressed the Lok Sabha on Thursday during a discussion on the Budget 2022-23.
In her reply, sitharaman said her government handled the financial crisis “better than the UPA” did in 2008.
“In the 2008 financial crisis, India’s GDP took a hit of 2.21 lakh crores in terms of reduced gains. In the recent crisis, India’s GDP lost 9.57 lakh crore. Despite disruption to the supply chain, inflation in 2020-21 was 6.2 per cent , whereas in 2008-09, it was 9.1 per cent,” the Union Finance Minister said.
She also added that the Indian economy is recovering faster than other economies, including that of the United States of America (USA).
