Bangalore’s New Mayor Is Not a ‘Shell-Shocked Woman’, Lulz

If you’d been a Congress councillor for four terms, and then Bangalore’s mayor, and news reporters still didn’t know who you were, would you be mad?

Twitter user Karthik (@beastoftraal) noticed a hilarious blunder in the Times of India’s reportage of an incident in Bangalore where a building collapsed and trapped ten people.

This is how the Times of India captioned its photo:

But Bangalore Mirror got it right:

The Times of India later acknowledged the error but we’re still cracking up about it. The best part is that she doesn’t even looked shell-shocked — agitated, more like, while inspecting rubble and deciding that actions could be taken against the municipality officials who allowed the owner to illegally construct extra floors. Just another day in the life of a leader of a women-majority municipal council!
