Ahead of general elections 2019, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress are actively taking to social media to take the political slugfest to a new high.
Both BJP and Congress have shared a parody video from their official Twitter handles to ridicule each other.
The BJP on Friday posted a video on its social media handle at 10.37 pm saying, “While @RahulGandhi will stay up all night wondering what new lies to peddle tomorrow morning, we leave you with this goal for 2019.”
The video, a 'Gully Boy' inspired parody rap, showcases the various alleged corruption cases that took place under the UPA era.

Watch the video:
The video begins with 'Azadi' slogans against various issues plaguing the country. It includes everything from Robert Vadra's alleged corruption cases to different controversies surrounding the Nehru-Gandhi family.
It shows the photograph of former Telecom Minister A Raja in its attempt to remind the viewers of the 2G scam. It also targets the Congress with Prime Minister Narendra Modi seen attributing his “Congress-mukt” political slogan to Mahatma Gandhi.
However, Congress was quick to respond.
In a reply to the BJP's tweet, the Congress posted a video using the same rap.
The Congress wrote: "Beyond fear, there is freedom".

The Congress has used a speech of Modi from the campaign for the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, when he sought votes saying, “Don’t make me the prime minister, make me the chowkidar”. This is immediately followed by Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s oft-repeated charge: “Chowkidar chor hai (the watchman is a thief).”
Watch the video:
The video ends with Rahul Gandhi's speech where he says, "The day we stand up, the RSS, the BJP, Modi or Savarkar…they will run away.”
Gandhi made this speech early this week at a convention of Congress’s minority department in New Delhi.
