However, the suggestion of E-bikes did not sit well with Twitteratis who took this as an opportunity to lash out at the business tycoon for not delivering on his promises.

“Thought Javed Afridi is hyping up MG because he will bring the prices down so that middle-class people like me can afford it. But the businessman only thinks of his interest,” one user wrote.

Another Twitterati claimed called out Afridi for his seemingly “unprofessional behaviour.”

“First fulfill delivery commitments for MG, very non-professional behaviour. We booked a vehicle which was not delivered on time. Then we were asked to deposit additional Rs 1 million for delivery after a month,” the Twitterati wrote.
