Ahead of Lok Sabha elections, memes and jokes flood social media

HYDERABAD: With the Lok Sabha elections nearing, social media and WhatsApp chats are abuzz with catchy one-liners, jokes, memes and videos doing the rounds.


The most recent politico to fall prey to this was TRS supremo KCR whose caricatures were being circulated all over social media.

Few TRS MLAs have even put that up as their profile picture.

Most of these messages are being churned out by parties and few creative youngsters who are fans of opposition parties. The Telugu Desam Party 's social media wing got Tollywood lyricist D Ramajogayya Sastry to write a song "Nayakuda malli nuvve ravali" which literally translates to "Oh Leader!, you should only return as our chief minister."

The TDP also made a four-minute video of this song and released it on social media making it an instant hit among party fans. Another trend that is prevalent on social media is of small videos and GIFs mocking rival parties and their agenda.

Few groups are also enacting skits. While YSRC and TDP are taking pot-shots at each other with YSRC cadre constantly attacking AP IT minister Nara Lokesh and chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu, Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan has attacked both parties on social media.

Few creative minds have also mocked Modi's "Bhaiyo aur behno" and "mitron".
