We really can't go even a week without a stupid comment from a politician, can we? It's entertaining as hell, but at the same time, it's very concerning that these people are responsible for our country.

This time, it's BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya who shared his beautiful observation - apparently, you can tell a person is from Bangladesh if they eat Poha. Yes, Poha, one of the most common breakfast foods in India.

He made this comment after he recently had some construction work done at his house and noted that some of the labourers had 'strange eating habits' since they were only eating Poha.

BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya says some of the labourers carrying out construction work at his house recently were likely to be Bangladeshis as they had "strange" eating habits and were consuming only 'poha' (flattened rice)

I've honestly said this a million times before but I feel like I need to keep saying it - there needs to be a freaking IQ cutoff to become a politician! It's high time.

Till then, we can always trust the people of the internet to troll the **** out of any and every stupid comment, because that's what they deserve.

Important question.

Is Poha not indian ? https://t.co/7LTFH7aMor

Oops.

Errm. *looks at breakfast plate laden with poha* https://t.co/sMeNkLIOFt

Apparently not.

Isnât poha literally a typical Maharashtrian dish https://t.co/b6rF0bAu3v

At least according to this guy.

Now you can trace them by the food they eat? #Poha https://t.co/zyn5hDznYM

Almost everyone, tbh.

If eating poha is a proof of being Bangladeshi, then half of India, including my family, is Bangladeshi! https://t.co/VmspQnpYbW

No logic found.

By this logic Indori and Punekars are also Bangladeshi. What a tool.

Nope.

I wonder whether this man has heard of Krishna and Sudama .... and the story of the gift of poha. https://t.co/ZXV74PbayQ

No one knows.

Poha toh main bhi daily khata hoon but do not understand how Poha is connect with Bangladesh ?

â Abhishek Mishra (@Abhishek_Mshra) January 23, 2020

Good point.

This means you are not paying them well, they could only afford 'poha.' It might sound strange to you,but in Bengal, we don't call it poha! https://t.co/MNyHuxzq5k

What happened?

Really strange that construction workers in Indore were consuming Poha - a staple & cheap food of Madhya Pradesh -easily available too -
and then we wonder what happened to the Indian growth story - https://t.co/sZhG9od7Uu
