US journo Kelly trolled for asking Modi "Are you on Twitter"
American journalist Megyn Kelly is being trolled on Twitter for asking India's PM Narendra Modi, "Are you on Twitter?", after he referred to her recent tweet with an umbrella. "While @narendramodi had done his homework Ms. Kelly had not researched her subjects well," a tweet read. Citing Kelly's and Modi's Twitter followers, another user tweeted, "2.3M vs 30M+ followers. :-D."
National Broadcasting Company (NBC) journalist Megyn Kelly must be ruing the she didn't do her homework properly before meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi in St. Petersburg. The famous journalist is facing severe flak from netizens for asking PM Modi whether he was on Twitter. Kelly launched her new show with an interaction featuring Russian President Vladimir Putin and PM Modi at Konstantin Palace in St. Petersburg. However, she soon found herself being slammed on social media for her absurd question to PM Modi while greeting him.
