One of the key changes that have occurred in the MODIfied era is the media and media personnel, who is tagged the “PRESTITUTES” have constantly tried to criticize and embarrass the government in every way possible. This time, it was a war of words between the union minister, Smriti Z. Irani and Rajdeep Sardesai, the consulting editor at the India Today group. It all started with Sardesai tweeting regarding the union ministry’s stand on the suicide of 3 medical students in Tamil Nadu. Three women students of SVS Medical College of Naturopathy and Yoga Sciences in Villupuram, about 200 km from Chennai allegedly committed suicide on Saturday. The women had jumped into a well near their college leaving behind a note that blamed the institution’s chairperson and management.
The young women were undergraduate students. They have been identified as second-year students V Priyanka, T Monisha and E Saranya. They allegedly tied themselves together with a dupatta (scarf) and jumped into a farm well near the college. Police claim to have recovered a suicide note which allegedly blames the college management and in particular it’s chairperson. They have registered cases of extortion, cheating and abetting suicide.
@sardesairajdeep Sir concerned college under jurisdiction of State. My ministry has no jurisdiction.

However, Sardesai thought to provoke The Union HRD minister over this issue. But he didn’t know what was in the store for him, as the social active Minister retorted back stating that the issue was an internal matter of the state of Tamil Nadu, and Union HRD has nothing to do with it.
@sardesairajdeep no Sir not thru ministry.I know you wish to pin at least something on me but wish u cud research better.

However, she was quick-witted to even say that Sardesai would always want to find a reason to pin her down on a personal front. The twitter battle continued for a few more tweets and the Twitterati started taking stands for and against Sardesai.
Far from it. I have high expectations from you. The HRD/health ministry needs to act against pvt unaided colleges. https://t.co/ok8AeRgIOa
