The best Indian cartoons of the day, chosen by senior editors at ThePrint. The selected cartoons appeared first in other publications, either in print or online or on social media and are credited appropriately.
The northeast election results remained the predominant theme of cartoons Monday. The lead cartoon by Jayanto, published in Hindustan Times, poked fun at the poor performance of the Congress party and linked it to the Oscar awards. While E.P. Unny’s cartoon in The Indian Express focussed on the death of the Left in Tripura as the incumbent CPI(M) was voted out of power. The BJP’s meteoric rise in the northeast gave added muscle to Amit Shah and Narendra Modi to compete in the Karnataka elections, as illustrated by Surendra in The Hindu.
Irfan’s cartoon shows the alleged SSC exam scam that has triggered protests in Delhi and Arvind Kejriwal wading into the matter. Hemant Morparia makes sure that the PNB scandal is not forgotten and takes a dig at Nirav Modi’s seemingly large appetite.
