Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani and Bihar Education Minister Ashok Choudhary were today locked in a war of words over the latter addressing her as “dear”. Choudhary wrote in his twitter account.
Dear @smritiirani ji, when will we get New Education policy..?
When will year 2015 end in your calendar..? https://t.co/X20LhUsvCt— Dr. Ashok Choudhary (@AshokChoudhaary) June 14, 2016
“Dear .@smritiirani ji, कभी राजनीति और भाषण से वक़्त मिले तो शिक्षा निति की तरफ भी ध्यान दें”

But, the use of the word “dear” did not go down well with the Union HRD Minister.
@AshokChoudhaary mahilaon ko ‘dear’ keh ke kab se sambodhit karne lage Ashokji ?

Irani replied in her tweet message.
Choudhary answered to her objection by another message on his micro blogging site. To which Chowdhary replied.
Not to disrespect but educate… Professional emails start with “dear”. @smritiirani Ji Kabhi mudde pe jawab dijiye, don’t circle around it.

Irani said in another tweet.
@AshokChoudhaary all my communications to you or any other person start with ‘adarniya’ but since you are now communicating allow me 1/3

On the Bihar Education minister’s query about the new education policy she replied
@AshokChoudhaary have not received state views on education policy neither did you in your 1 on 1 meeting with me give any suggestions 3/3

The war of words with the Bihar Education Minister came on a day when she was on a visit to Bhagalpur in connection with “Vikash Parv” observed by NDA on completion of two years in the office.
Ashok Choudhary is also the state president of Congress.
