Congress workers on Tuesday named a public toilet in Allahabad after Rishi Kapoor, apparently as a retort to the actor’s recent rant over the naming of many public institutions after Nehru-Gandhi family. A group of Congress workers gathered at Shivaji Park and placed a board displaying Kapoor’s name outside a Sulabh Shauchalaya toilet. The workers said that naming assets of the nation after the Gandhis was justified in view of their vast contribution to the nation. The supporters stated that both of the families have played a huge role in the struggle for freedom of the country. The 63-year-old Bollywood actor got a public toilet named after him in Allahabad.
