War of memes: BJP, Congress indulge in social media banter

Politicians are not just contesting and trolling each other during rallies and conferences, but are also mocking each other and indulging in creative warfare on social media platforms. 

On Friday, the Congress shared a meme on its official Twitter handle, which featured the actor who essays the role of Pablo Escobar in the series 'Narcos'.

In the meme, Escobar can be seen alone, sad, morose and contemplating. 

The Congress captioned the meme as, "Chor at 7 Racecourse today".

While taking a dig at the Congress, BJP tweeted the same meme and wrote, "When you have to copy BJP even while making memes, despite having a walking-talking meme as your Party President, then it speaks volumes."
