#BediBlocks: Kiran Bedi's 'I can block anyone' lecture gets her trolled on Twitter

[caption id=“attachment_2269092” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] Kiran Bedi. Reuters[/caption] On Friday morning while most of us woke up to snoozed alarms, Twitter woke up to #BediBlocks. That’s right. Former IPS officer and BJP leader Kiran Bedi made sure she provided the Twitterati enough fodder for conversation when she tweeted this-

(Thanku for being so polite. Abusing an opportunity to connect. You can say the same thing differently) @thekiranbedi just shut up lady!!!!”

As it turns out, some nameless person tweeted to Bedi on Thursday night asking her to ‘shut up’. This irked Bedi, who made sure she delivered a lecture and a warning. (without tagging the person it was intended for, obviously!) Her next tweet(warning) was this-

Let it be known that I will block any person whose message I feel is not worth it.This Twitter handle is mine.I spend time writing/reading..

Not only did the tweet have 130 retweets and more than 200 favourites, but it also spurned out a hashtag- #BediBlocks, which started trending in no time. Her warning of blocking anyone she pleases to, seemed to encourage trolls on Twitter to take digs at her decision, which then resulted in a host of hilarious memes and jokes!
