Kunal Kamra has once again rubbed the fans of BJP the wrong way with a tweet. The comedian, this time, has irked the right-wing sympathizers with a post in which he mocked LK Advani while praising MS Dhoni, the former Indian cricket captain, who announced his retirement from the international cricket on Saturday, 15 August.

LK Advani was once the powerful leader of the BJP and was the Prime Ministerial candidate in 2009 general elections. He was a PM aspirant, but his hopes were crushed after Narendra Modi was elevated as the face of the saffron party in 2014 elections.

Coming back to Kunal Kamra, he hit national headlines earlier this year following his verbal assault on Republic TV editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami on a flight.
