“Rich Don’t Want To Pay”: Harsh Goenka’s Cryptic Post On World Cup Tickets

New Delhi:

Industrialist Harsh Goenka’s recent post on World Cup tickets has drawn major backlash from the certain section of the society. The RPG Group Chairperson, in a post on social media site X posted that the businessmen have been given free passes to watch the World Cup finals.

None of my businessmen friends have paid to get tickets for the #WorldcupFinal, they have all managed to get a ‘pass’. And that’s where the irony lies- it’s the rich who don’t want to pay!

On his post a user inquired Mr Goenka about what he got the finals, to which he replied neither.

Neither 🫣
