The word ‘Sonia’ remained one of the most used words.

8. Jairam Ramesh’s remark: There are more #temples in the country then toilets

Had this been a remark on Masjids, there would have been widespread outrage in the country.

Along with BJP, Congress retracted back at this comment too saying Congress respects all religions and this was a very careless remark from Ramesh’s side.
