Assembly elections: Rahul Gandhi, Akhilesh Yadav are stars of the best memes

Assembly Elections 2017: Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi, SP’s Akhilesh Yadav and AAP’s Arvind Kejriwal were targeted by Twitter memesters. Here are some of the best memes we found online.

As Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi offered congratulations to PM Narendra Modi and the BJP for their wins in the UP and Uttarakhand assembly elections, Twitter, being Twitter, decided that it was the perfect opportunity to dust off their favourite punching bag and take fresh jabs.

Akhilesh Yadav’s SP and Rahul Gandhi’s Congress party had formed an alliance for the UP Assembly Elections 2017.

While the SP-Congress alliance failed to pay off for Akhilesh Yadav, his decision to partner up with Gandhi in his home state of Uttar Pradesh was widely mocked online. Both Gandhi and Yadav are the heirs to powerful political dynasties, which the memesters wasted no time in reminding everyone.

Another politician who bore the brunt of the attack was Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, who was making strong inroads into Punjab, which his Aam Aadmi Party lost to the Congress.
