New Delhi: Yoga guru Baba Ramdev’s wonder cure for Covid-19— Coronil, and the subsequent stay on its advertisements by the Ministry of AYUSH, kept Twitter quite amused.
Youtube star Dhruv Rathee mocks Ramdev’s claim that his drug is 100 per cent effective.
Condoms have 98% effectiveness
Contraceptive pill has 99% effectiveness
Even Polio Vaccine has 99% effectiveness
But Baba Ramdev says his medicine #CORONIL has 100% recovery rate.
He deserves a Nobel Prize in Medicine if his claim is true.

But BJP’s Amit Malviya dashes his hopes with this Twitter-lashing.
Delhi is battling with Corona but it’s Chief Minister’s only priority is to somehow take credit for things others have done…
He doesn’t do anything is now obvious, why else would the center have to step in?
Despicable behaviour in these difficult times. https://t.co/jgIXjW82rm

US Democratic representative from New York, who’s very popular on Twitter, Alexandria Occasio Cortez takes a bow after winning her primaries with a historic mandate.
When I won in 2018, many dismissed our victory as a “fluke.”
Our win was treated as an aberration, or bc my opponent “didn’t try.”
So from the start, tonight’s race was important to me.
Tonight we are proving that the people’s movement in NY isn’t an accident. It‘s a mandate.
