On April Fools’ Day, the Congress Twitter handle put up ‘news format’ video to mock PM Modi and the BJP government.

They wrote on Twitter: “PM-MyGovt An amount of INR 15,00,000.00 has been CREDITED to your A/C on 01/04/2018 towards Acche Din. Ref No. http://BJP00000420.Total Avail.bal INR 0.00. Here are some other BREAKING NEWS stories trending this hour: #HappyJumlaDivas.”

Shot in a ‘breaking news’ format, the video claims the demonetization killed corruption, while Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi had ‘boosted’ PM’s Swacch Bharat campaign by ‘cleaning out’ PNB and were rewarded with foreign tours.

The video goes on to rib the Modi government over the cleanliness of Ganga, claims every city is now a ‘Smart City’ where ‘robots collect garbage’ and says that PM Modi had created 'so many jobs that even aliens from Mars were now working in India'.

The BJP and Congress are currently at each other’s throats over allegations made by Wylie. Christopher Wylie, a former Analytica employee turned whistleblower, in a deposition before the House of Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sports Committee in London had said the company had worked extensively in India and believed it was employed by the Congress.

Irani claimed that this was not just a data theft issue but a deeper malaise and a challenge.

The Congress president had claimed that the NaMo app secretly recorded audio, video and contacts. "Modi's NaMo App secretly records audio, video, contacts of your friends and family and even tracks your location via GPS. He's the Big Boss who likes to spy on Indians.

"Now he wants data on our children. 13 lakh NCC cadets are being forced to download the APP," Rahul Gandhi had said on Twitter using the hashtag "DeleteNaMoApp".
