Congress MP Karti Chidambaram has created a flutter in the political circles by praising waste-management techniques in Indore, the city in which the BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh and has advised the Chennai municipal corporation to draw lessons from Indore.

Reacting to a Chennai MC plan to visit Europe to study waste management techniques this May, Karti replied: "Can the @chennaicorp name one learning & implementation of a practice from any of the previous study tours? Poor garbage management, street dogs & cattle, broken sidewalks & potholed roads is the hallmark of Chennai. Visit Indore to start with."
