The Lighter Side Of #ElectionResults2017
It was a close call in Gujarat today even as the ruling Bhartiya Janta Party survived a minor scare to emerge victorious in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home turf. Anti-incumbency struck again in Himachal as the BJP wrested power from the Congress.
Through all this, Twitterati kept themselves busy. Here are some of the funniest tweets that caught our attention.
When the BJP had a minor scare.
All that begins well ends well, may be not for the Congress in Gujarat today.

Gujarati dedh shaane nikale, haraya nahi par daraya."BJP approved with comments" in Engineering language.
Still after 22 years it's #saffrongujarat#GujaratVerdictThat's one way of looking at it.
#Rahul is That Rich Kid Who Just Need to Get 35% Marks to Run His Family Business but Fails Repeatedly. #Modiji is That Poor Kid Who Need to Get 99% Every Time to Survive.

🔃#Retweet if you Agree.#GujaratVerdict #ElectionResults #GujaratResults #ElectionResults2017GST-itis ouch!
Amit Shah asked for 150 seats out of 182 in Gujarat.
December 19, 2017
Gujarati people gave him 99 after deducting 28% GST.
182 * 28%= 51, 150-51=99.
(Via WhatsApp)A close call.

December 18, 2017When Himachal got the rough end of the stick from national media coverage.
Himachal Pradesh is right now being treated like that daughter who is performing so well in academics, but is being ignored for a son who is just passing.!!!#GujaratVerdict
December 18, 2017The pain is real.
Today Himachal Pradesh is feeling like Rahul Dravid. Even after scoring a century eveyone is talking about Sachin (Gujarat).#GujaratVerdict
December 18, 2017Conspiracy theory!
What if it turns out that Mani Shankar Aiyar, Manish Tiwari and Digvijay Singh are all RSS members who were trying to make the #Congress look like idiots on purpose? That would be the greatest conspiracy theory ever!#GujaratVerdict2017#GujaratVerdict #GujaratElection2017
December 18, 2017Something to keep in mind.
–when life gives you "Rahul" make it Dravid not Gandhi
December 18, 2017
–when life gives you "Hardik" make it Pandya not Patel 🐯#GujratResults #ElectionResults #bjp #BJPvsCongress #ModiUnstoppableEverybody's a winner.
