Congress' loss in Meghalaya, Karti Chidambaram, Oscars 2018 in Today's News Is Fun With Pun
We hope that these hilarious memes made you laugh as much as it did to us. Have a good day!
The Indian National Congress (INC) failed to form the government in Meghalaya despite winning the highest number of seats in the recently concluded Assembly Elections 2018. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) formed an alliance with National People’s Party (NPP) and four other political parties to keep Congress at bay in the state. The grand victory of the BJP in the three northern states – Nagaland, Meghalaya, and Tripura – saw people poking fun at both Congress, and the Left-front.
Also trending in the news was the buzz at 90th Academy Awards and Karti Chidambaram. The son of finance minister P. Chidambaram was arrested by CBI for his alleged involvement in the INX Media case. The Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) tried their luck in Northeast elections too but failed miserably.
The chain of events saw people making fun of the news that we saw throughout the day. The internet was at its funny best and there were memes, picture messages going viral on social media. We, at LatestLY, bring to you a series of comic tweets that’d make you react hilariously.
1. Congress' situation in Meghalaya!
Despite emerging as the single largest party in Meghalaya, Congress failed to convince other political parties and form an alliance. The party had lost similarly in the states of Goa and Manipur too!
2. Another perfect depiction of Congress' situation.
With Congress losing out in all the three Northeastern states, it was no less than a shambolic defeat for the party under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi. After clear losses in Tripura and Nagaland, the party couldn't form the government in Meghalaya.
3. Aam Aadmi Party and the art of losing deposits in elections!
The Kejriwal-led party fought on six seats in Meghalaya and three seats in Nagaland. The party was not able to save their deposits in eight of them.
4. Are you ready?
The 90th Academy Awards took place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, in the United States. There were a lot of surprise winners, but then, who cares, as long as you are window-shopping?
5. Amruta Fadnavis won an Oscar Award too?
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis' and his wife Amruta were trolled on social media hilariously for their promotional video on river-water conservation. With Oscars round the corner, the Twitterati had great fun, it seems!
6. Karti Chidambaram, are you serious?
Karti Chidambaram, son of former finance minister P Chidambaram was arrested by the CBI in the INX Media case. He was brought to the Byculla prison to be confronted with Indrani Mukerjea where he was seen striking this pose. People on social media were all happy making this picture go viral with funny captions.
We hope that these hilarious memes made you laugh as much as it did to us. Have a good day!
