Wayanad bypoll: Low voter turnout dampens Congress spirits
Political observers say that the massive turnout of crowd during the campaigns of Priyanka in the constituency is not reflected in the polling.
The Congress on Tuesday mocked Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath with a unique video.
The party led by Rahul Gandhi has been at the forefront of opposition against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in the state over a host of issues, including the rise in the number of encounters by the police.
In a tweet posted from its official Twitter handle on Tuesday, the Congress used footages of speeches made by Adityanath and juxtaposed them with a creative take using the ‘How to’ search.

“Breaking News: UP CM Yogi Adityanath’s browsing history (sheet) leaks. Plans to create an ideal UP Model and his secret strategy for 2019 revealed,” the tweet reads.
The video shows a smiling face of the UP CM photoshopped on someone sitting before a computer, which has the word ‘Noodles’ on the screen – an apparent dig at some BJP leaders’ past comments blaming “chowmein for rapes”.
Searches like “how to make a hate speech”, “how to bring in bad governance”, “how to ensure social disharmony”, etc, appear on the screen punctuated by Adityanath’s speeches or news reports on encounters.
Among the reports and speeches shown in the video are Adityanath’s infamous “Bakre ki amma kab tak khair manayegi” speech and that of the Kasganj violence.
The Congress also takes a jibe at the government over the reports that it is preparing to withdraw FIRs against the accused allegedly involved in the Muzaffarnagar violence.
The video ends with the words “How to make Yogi PM in 2019”.
