Both Congress and BJP took to social media to expose the hypocrisy of the other.
New Delhi: Social media has been the battleground for very many debates between the Indian national Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Today is no different. If you’re lacking entertainment, there is a lot on offer as the no-confidence motion hits the floor of Lok Sabha.
Narendra Modi’s tweet set the stage last night:
Today is an important day in our Parliamentary democracy. I am sure my fellow MP colleagues will rise to the occasion and ensure a constructive, comprehensive & disruption free debate. We owe this to the people & the makers of our Constitution. India will be watching us closely.

The no-confidence vote in the Parliament has generated many Twitter trends from #BhookampAaneWaalaHai to #KyaHuaTeraVada.
BJP clearly feeling the tremors of #BhookampAaneWalaHain ? BJP leaders a bunch of softies!

Amit Malviya took to sharing a compilation video of Rahul Gandhi’s previous speeches:

Congress, however, had a Hindi musical number up its sleeve:
PM Modi made tall promises on curbing corruption. But this was far from reality. #KyaHuaTeraVaada

As Rahul Gandhi called out the Rafale deal, BJP posted a video of Emmanuel Macron defending it:
Rahul Gandhi is lying on Rafale deal. Here is what French President Emmanuel Macron had to say on the deal –
“Obviously you have competitors and we can’t let them know details of the deal. In India and in France, when the deal is very sensitive, we can’t reveal details.” pic.twitter.com/PvFmSbTnGy

Defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman comes to the rescue of the Centre:

The blame game doesn’t stop just yet:
Dear @nsitharaman, here is a news item where the French President @EmmanuelMacron says that the Modi Govt can share details of Rafale deal with the Opposition. You have a flair for lying, we don’t. https://t.co/6I5YAgEBWh

Senior Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala also has a set of questions:
Proof-Rafale sold same 48 Rafale aircrafts to Egypt & Qatar in 2015 for a mere Euro 7.9 Billion. i.e. ₹1319.80 Cr per aircraft
Then,why did India pay ₹ 1670.70 Cr per Rafale aircraft,purchase of which was announced by PM on 10th April, 2015?#NoConfidenceMotion #KyaHuaTeraVaada pic.twitter.com/CdrOQ6mcWN

BJP also shared Rajendra Prasad’s letter that ‘exposes’ Rahul Gandhi’s double speak on women’s reservation:
