Beverage prices at airports 'horrify' P Chidambaram: Twitterati up in arms

Chidambaram tweeted that he was "horrified" about the price of tea

Exorbitant prices of beverages at domestic airports got the goat of former finance minister P Chidambaram on Sunday. The senior Congress leader was 'horrified' looking at the price of the tea that he ordered.  

The former finance minister took to Twitter to complain about the cost of hot beverages at Chennai airport. Twitterati couldn't contain themselves and took to the platform to shame him for his tweets. 

He tweeted that he was "horrified" about the price of tea. 

At Chennai Airport Coffee Day I asked for tea. Offered hot water and tea bag, price Rs 135. Horrified, I declined. Was I right or wrong?

In another tweet, he also complained about the price of coffee.

Coffee Rs 180. I asked who buys it? Answer was 'many'. Am I outdated?

Twitterati, however, could not contain themselves and went on the social media platform to dank the lawyer-cum-politician for his comments. 

Here is some fun that Tweeple had by taking potshots at Chidambaram: 

Karti has enough money if he can afford Singhvi as lawyer. Moreover, his daughter is going to inherit a fortune from Karti friends
