If roads in Delhi can be changed why not Congress assets/property ke naam? Was in Chandigarh wahan bhi Rajeev Gandhi assets? Socho? Why?
— Rishi Kapoor (@chintskap) May 17, 2016
The 63-year-old veteran actor, who had in the recent past, been critical of the Saffron forces on issues like intolerance, picked up the Congress for his blast this time.
We must name important assets of the country who have contributed to society. Har cheez Gandhi ke naam? I don't agree. Sochna log!
— Rishi Kapoor (@chintskap) May 17, 2016
Kapoor said the names of the prominent places should be changed after those who worked for the welfare of the country.
The actor tweeted:
Film City should be named Dilip Kumar,Dev Anand,Ashok Kumar ya Amitabh Bachchan ke naam? Rajeev Gandhi udyog Kya hota hai? Socho doston!

The "Kapoor & Sons" star said people from the film industry should also have buildings named after them.
Kapoor said even Delhi's international airport should be named after personalities like Bhagat Singh or Bhimrao Ambedkar.
Imagine Mohamad Rafi Mukesh Manna Dey Kishore Kumar venues on their name like in our country. Just a suggestion
— Rishi Kapoor (@chintskap) May 17, 2016
Why Indira G airport International ? Why not Mahatma Gandhi or Bhagat Singh Ambedkar or on my name Rishi Kapoor. As superficial! What say?
— Rishi Kapoor (@chintskap) May 17, 2016
The actor said his father legendary actor-filmmaker Raj Kapoor has done more good to the country than any politician.
Raj Kapoor has made India proud over the years all over even after his death. Certainly more than What has been perceived by politics.

Actor Anupam Kher said Kapoor's tweets are genuine thought.
"Rishi Kapoorji has thought about it and I am sure a lot of people think about a lot of things that they put on social networking sites. Itss genuine thought. It is not necessarily against the particular family...," Kher said, adding that the achievements of other people should also be lauded.
"Salutes to @chintskap for speaking the truth. The #Nehruisation of this country has to go. There is no different. between them & the Britishers," said filmmaker and censor board member Ashok Pandit.
