In today’s featured cartoon, Alok Nirantar cleverly displays the hypocrisy of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. While Gandhi famously touted his party’s ‘Mohabbat ki Dukaan‘ strategy, his recent dig at PM Modi by calling him a ‘panauti’ (bad omen) responsible for India’s loss at the Cricket World Cup final brings shows a different picture.

Satish Acharya’s insightful cartoon also depicts the recent ‘Panauti’ comment made by Rahul Gandhi. He situates it amidst the rising snide remarks and insults thrown by opposing political parties in the country, while the common man’s struggles are lost in the mix.

E P Unny’s cartoon illustrates the recent controversy where the Supreme Court asked the Tamil Nadu governor the reason behind delaying the passing of bills pending before him. The cartoon swiftly brings in the ‘One Nation, One Election’ debate too, asking how people are expected to vote faster than governors passing bills.
