Additionally, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal did not refrain from taking credit for Anandiben Patel's resignation.

आनंदी जी का इस्तीफ़ा गुजरात में "आप" की तेज़ी से बढ़ती लोकप्रियता का नतीजा है। भाजपा गुजरात में बुरी तरह से डरी हुई https://t.co/4z6aXyZIib

He was obviously not spared either.

Kejriwal taking credit for #anandibenpatel resignation is like saying Sachin quit cricket being afraid of DEVENDRA BISHU

#AnandibenPatel resigned through Facebook in support for #DigitalIndia. Will Kejriwal resign through twitter to prove AAP is one step ahead?

Some even said that Anandiben Patel's move of resigning via a Facebook post was a bizarre way of promoting BJP's digital India campaign.

Facebook won the battle over Twitter when it came to #anandibenpatel resignation. @Raheelk this is worrying, ensure you get the next one

CM of Gujarat resigns on Facebook. Resignation accepted on Facebook ( with a LIKE, I presume). Bizarre marketing of #DigitalIndia. :-)
