Reacting to a video of Congress MP Tariq Anwar being carried on back by farmers while visiting flood-affected areas in Bihar's Katihar, BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla said, "Sense of entitlement of Congress." "Even in flood-affected areas they want VVIP protocol?" he asked. Shehzad added that Anwar "mocked" flood relief while "touring" flood-affected areas.
