Mayawati drops ‘Sushri’ from Twitter handle after flak

LUCKNOW: After she came in for a lot of flak from social media users for using 'Sushri' in her Twitter handle, BSP Supremo Mayawati on Wednesday dropped the title from her user name on the microblogging platform.

When the former UP CM made her debut on Twitter earlier this month, she used the handle @SushriMayawati. 'Sushri' is a title used before the name of a woman to expresses respect and reverence. She was criticised by several social media users for using the title in her handle with some alleging she was eulogising herself. "My twitter account opened as @SushriMayawati but now it is @Mayawati," she posted on Wednesday.
