Continuing with his vocabulary lesson and criticism of the BJP-led government, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor dropped another word on Sunday, after 'quomodocunquize'.
Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Congress leader accused him of pretending to be asleep when "heinous atrocities are committed by his worst supporters."
His tweet read: Unfamiliar Expressions Deptt: "play possum": definitions: (1) pretend to be asleep or unconscious (as an opossum does to avoid attack) (2) feign ignorance USAGE: Why does our PM play possum when heinous atrocities are committed by his worst supporters?"
Earlier in the day, he had targetted the Railways with the word ' quomodocunquize' which meant to make money by any means possible.
“Obscure Words Deptt: Must the Indian Railways quomodocunquize? @RailMinIndia,” his tweet had read.
