Indian television superstar comedian, Kapil Sharma questioned Prime Minister Narender Modi “Yeh hain aapke ache din?” (Are these the good times?), as he was allegedly asked for a Rs. 5 lakhs bribe by a BMC official.
Kapil shared his unpleasant experience on Twitter and stated he has paid Rs. 15 crores income tax for the past five years and still he is asked to pay Rs. 5 Lakhs as a bribe to build his office.
The twitter force soon reacted to this, given Kapil is India’s most popular entertainer.
