While some Twitter users mocked the prime minister for not being able to distinguish between the two idols, there were some who pointed out that both the goddesses represented power and, hence, are the same.

Here are some of the reactions:
This idiot doesn’t know the Difference between the Maa Kali Idol and the Maa Durga Idol ..
Gadha Maa Kali is worshiped on a special New Moon Night .. Diwali ..
