Social media seems to be the new battleground for Kerala politicians, the latest one being a Twitter war between Congress MP Shashi Tharoor and BJP candidate S Sreesanth.

The slugfest began when the Thiruvananthapuram MP tweeted asking Sreesanth to do his homework before taking part in any political talk show.

His tweet was in reference to a video in which Sreesanth was unable to answer a journalist’s questions about the Thiruvananthapuram constituency, from where the former cricketer is contesting the Kerala Assembly elections.

Sreesanth was not late to reply.  He responded by quoting Chanakya. See his tweet here:

A rough translation of the quote is: “If there is unrest among people pretending to be intellectuals and criminals, assume that the king is in the right direction.”

According to a report by Manorama, Sreesanth had also accused the MP for not helping him, while he was facing allegations related to spot-fixing. However, Sreesanth deleted this tweet soon after posting it.

But going by the latest tweets, everything seems to be fine between the two.
