Rahul Bose’s Banana controversy has been the topic talk of the social media world from almost a week now. it has given online audience a new controversy to share their opinions. Even brands have used this as a great opportunity to advertise themselves for their prices comparing with JW Marriot’s 2 bananas.

The matter was taken into account by the Chandigarh Deputy Commissioner and Excise and Taxation Commissioner Mandip Singh Brar who has ordered a high-level investigation as the hotel has charged GST on fresh fruits.

It looks like this controversy is not going to end soon as Hotell Taj, a competitor of JW Marriott has come up with something really witty yet apt according to the situation.

Hotel Taj has announced about serving seasonal fruits with compliments. Here’s what it read,

“We would be delighted to serve seasonal fresh whole fruits with our compliments.

Please call In Room Dining to place your request.”

This clearly looks like an attempt to take on JW Marriott. Knowing this, Deepak Shenoy, founder of Capital Mind tweeted and he wrote: “Meanwhile, in the land of trolling JW Marriott….”

The tweet went viral instantly and people praised Taj for their epic timing. Here are some of the best ones:

1.

Do not order Bananas please 🤣🤣

2.

It should have written .. "Bananas too" to complete trolling!

— Capt Rahul Sharma 🇮🇳 (@imcaptRS) July 27, 2019

3.

LoL🤣
Another amusing part of the whole thing is that #JWMarriott levied 18% GST on the bananas, while fruits, vegetables and other essentials in raw form are exempt from the same.
