X user gets blocked by Anand Mahindra for questioning 'the failures of Indian Government'
Anand Mahindra appears to have blocked an X account after facing criticism for praising a PhD student running a food stall, which some saw as "romanticizing" middle-class struggles after a Pro-AAP user criticized him for not questioning the government.
Anand Mahindra, a social media-savvy millionaire, appears to have deleted a vociferous X account in response to criticism for "not questioning" the government about the country's unemployment rate. The user, who goes by "Gss", uploaded a screenshot indicating that they are unable to read Mahindra's profile or postings as a result of a recent statement directed at the businessman.

An American vlogger discovers a Ph.D candidate running a food stall, part-time.
What struck me as truly special, however, was the end, when he picks up his phone & the vlogger thinks he¡¯s going to show him social media mentions of his¡ pic.twitter.com/e9zMizTJwG
It all started when the Pro-AAP (Aam Aadmi Party) Xer chastised him over his reaction to a video of YouTuber Christopher Lewis learning that Tarun Rayan, the owner of a part-time food kiosk in Chennai, is actually a PhD candidate at SRM University.
¡°What struck me as truly special, however, was the end, when he picks up his phone & the vlogger thinks he¡¯s going to show him social media mentions of his stall¡ªbut instead, he proudly shows him online the research papers he has authored,¡± Mahindra wrote while sharing the clip on X.
The piece received varied reactions, including criticism for its apparent "romanticism" of middle-class hardships.
What did the now-blocked user comment on the video?
Commenting on it, GSS asked,¡°What nonsense is this Anand Mahindra? Stop sensationalizing the failures of Indian Gov where it cant give a Job to a PHD holder & is now has to earn by a food stall. Will you have your son/daughter do an MBA & then ask them to put a Thella? Then why sensationalizing it?¡±

Mahindra has subsequently barred the X user from further commenting on his postings. However, as Gss doubled down, the millionaire, who has over 11 million Instagram followers, faced even more criticism.
