Here’s what’s buzzing in social media today:
Congress’ tutorial on ‘How to peel oranges’
The Congress shared a video tutorial on its Instagram handle titled ‘How to peel oranges’ that depicted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his chats with his “stooges” on how to eat mangoes and his ‘gimmicks’ during the COVID-19 pandemic where he asked the people of India to beat utensils, clap and switch on their mobile phone flashlights.

BJP’s INDIA bloc foosball cartoon
The saffrom party, meanwhile, posted a cartoon of the INDIA alliance partners playing a game of foosball. It seemingly depicted Rahul Gandhi, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav.
The BJP, in the cartoon, charged that the alliance members have been playing the electorate for 70 years and urged people to ‘vote wisely’ in the ongoing 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
