Twitterati, upon seeing the tweet, were filled with rage. Here’s how they reacted:
Thanks for putting me off @KeralaTourism . I had all the plans of family vacation in Kerala and Lakshadvip starting 4th April. But seeing your promotional ad I'm cancelling it now and changing it to Himachal Pradesh.
Bye 'Devil's Own Country'

Even as we Tamils celebrate Pongal venerating our livestock,@KeralaTourism puts up this advertisement just to hurt our cultural sentiments. Clearly Hate-filled and uncultured. Happy we of Kanyakumari chose cultured Tamil Nadu and not these degenerate hate-peddlers. https://t.co/0Z81aUbBfV
