There is a time and place for everything, even selfies. If Obama can get flak for a badly-timed selfie at Nelson Mandela's memorial, then anyone can. And Chhattisgarh CM Raman Singh just learned it the hard way.

At a recent event on child rights in Raipur, the CM was clicked taking a selfie with Kareena Kapoor Khan, and the opposition was quick to point out how inappropriate that was.

Kareena, who is the UNICEF India celebrity advocate, was the special guest at the event.The picture of the CM attempting to click the selfie was circulated on social media,resulting in the state's Congress president Bhupesh Baghel seemingly believing that taking the selfie somehow kept the CM from his political duties. He said, "Farmers are committing suicide in the state due to drought and the CM is busy clicking selfies with Kareena. What does he want to prove by clicking a selfie with Kareena when women of the state are being insulted by the state government? The people of Chhattisgarh are far away from such culture."
