Ranvir Shorey is among those who has never shied away from speaking his mind on political matters. He also has been honest in his criticism of former Congress President Rahul Gandhi. He had earlier criticised Rahul Gandhi for mocking the dog squad performing yoga on International Yoga Day.  

A day before his latest tweet, he had slammed the politician as he attended an event for Adivasis in Raipur. Ranvir had quipped that Rahul Gandhi should be made the PM or it was the time to ‘end this.’ Before the general elections, he had taken a dig at Congress’ NYAY scheme in the manifesto as well.
