New Delhi: Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot is in no mood to celebrate PM-elect Narendra Modi’s swearing-in. On the contrary, he called out the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for disturbing and dismantling the state governments of opposition parties in West Bengal, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh. Welcome to politics, Mr. Gehlot.

Nothing can dampen Mr. Modi’s spirits though. Early morning, he paid his respects to former BJP leader and Prime Minister of India, Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s at his memorial.

Meanwhile, Congress president Rahul Gandhi made a brief appearance on Twitter to congratulate Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on being sworn in as chief minister of Andhra Pradesh.

And here are words of advice for him from former BJP leader Yashwant Sinha — if you don’t stand firm on your resignation, you will fall further in public estimation. Sensible advice, Sir, but do you think the Congress president will listen to you?

Randeep Singh Surjewala, communications in-charge of the Congress party, was in a communicative mood: the party has decided not to take part in any television debates for a month — how’s that for communication?

He also received some unsolicited advice on this move by former member of the Aam Aadmi Party, Ashutosh.

Meanwhile, social media in-charge of the Mahila Congress, Chitra Sarwara took a little help from singer Bob Dylan for a potshot at Time for its ‘divider-in-chief’ cover on Modi and its latest one saying he united India.

Here’s someone else praising Modi for uniting India — senior BJP leader Shivraj Singh Chouhan. A bit too much hyperbole, Mr Chouhan?

Translation: Successful leader going to take oath as the Prime Minister of India today @narendramodi Best wishes to Modiji is the divine power; The glorious, glorious, powerful, prosperous, safe India that he has laid the foundation of, the determination to build a ‘India, Best India’ will surely be fulfilled.

Khushbu Sudnar, spokesperson of the Congress party, expressed ‘shame’ over a retired subedaar of the Indian Army being sent to a detention centre after being declared a foreigner. Whatever happened to “Sabka Vishwas”?

While BJP leader Suresh Prabhu made it a point to greet actor and BJP member Paresh Rawal on his birthday, Mr. Rawal was tweeting things like this on his birthday. Whatever happened to starting the birthday on a positive note?

Translation: Padma Shri honored actor and BJP MP Shri Paresh Rawal #जन्मदिन Warm wishes of Pray to God that you should always be healthy and long life. @SirPareshRawal

And here’s a really unusual Twitter thread: BJP’s Atif Rasheed joined a never-ending thread talking about oranges, dosas, udupi, paan and other random items which evoke odd associations. Here’s Rasheed’s offensive comparison for Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal.
