BJP leader and Lok Sabha MP Gautam Gambhir got trolled high time for flunking the high-level parliamentary panel meeting to discuss the severe air pollution in Delhi. Instead, the cricketer-turned-politician was seen enjoying in the leisure trip in Indore with his fellow cricketer VVS Laxman. Minutes after the former test magician VVS Laxman dropped a tweet with pictures of him hanging out with Gambhir at some local eatery in Indore, the Internet broke out with trolls and memes. Reportedly, Gambhir is currently in Indore as a commentator for India vs Bangladesh cricket match.
