In a lighthearted yet pointed jab at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) sent a 1 kg order of jalebi to his Delhi residence via Swiggy. This gesture came after the BJP’s surprising victory in Haryana, where the party secured a hat-trick, contrary to exit polls predicting a Congress win.
As the election results unfolded, Congress workers began celebrating prematurely at their headquarters, dancing to traditional dhol music and sharing jalebis among themselves in anticipation of forming the government. However, as the day progressed, the BJP surged ahead, clinching victory and leaving Congress’s expectations dashed.
The term “jalebi” quickly trended on social media as BJP supporters seized the opportunity to poke fun at Congress. Many BJP leaders were spotted enjoying the sweet treat, while others attempted to cook jalebi in celebration of their electoral success.
In a playful move, the Haryana BJP shared a screenshot of a food delivery order placed on Swiggy for a 1 kg jalebi from Bikanervala in Connaught Place, Delhi, marked for delivery to Rahul Gandhi’s home on Akbar Road. The order was noted to be “cash on delivery,” with a caption stating, “On behalf of all the workers of Bhartiya Janta Party Haryana, Jalebi has been sent to Rahul Gandhi’s home.”
The playful banter stems from a previous incident where Rahul Gandhi praised jalebi from a local shop in Haryana, suggesting it should be exported worldwide. “I tasted jalebi in the car and sent a message to my sister Priyanka that today I have eaten the best jalebi of my life. I am bringing a box of jalebi for you too,” he said, further suggesting that the sweet shop should expand its “factories” globally.
In response to his remarks, BJP leaders quickly pointed out that the beloved sweet treat is traditionally not made in factories, adding another layer to the ongoing rivalry between the two parties.
As the political landscape in Haryana shifts, the BJP’s victory and its humorous tactics highlight the ongoing electoral battle and the role of social media in modern politics. we cannot independently verify the authenticity of the screenshot.
