New Delhi: An animated video by India Today depicted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi wrestling BJP National President JP Nadda as the exit polls projected a clear lead for the Congress in Haryana. The video sparked numerous reactions on social media, with many highlighting that PM Modi is often not presented as the BJP’s face when the party appears to be losing elections.

Several users pointed out how JP Nadda becomes the focus during election setbacks, while PM Modi is prominently featured during the party’s victories. The reactions ranged from sympathy for Nadda to sarcastic commentary.

Congress leader Pawan Khera tweeted, “अगले जन्म में मोहे नड्डा ना कीजे….,” implying that Nadda’s position is unenviable, especially during election losses.

X user Raju Verma wrote, “ये इंसान @JPNadda बेचारे बेइज्जती सहने के लिए ही पैदा हुए हैं.. किस्मत कैसा भी देना भगवान बस नड्डा जी जैसा मत देना,” indicating that Nadda is put in embarrassing situations repeatedly.

User Harmeet Kaur expressed frustration over the media’s coverage, stating, “When winning ... It's Modi Modi everywhere. When losing.... replace Modi & plaster Nadda Ji's pic. And then you people get offended, when we call you Godi Media.”

Another user, VIKRAM (@Gobhiji3), added humor to the discussion, saying, “TV पर आ गया नड्डा, मतलब बीजेपी का बैठ गया भट्ठा. हरियाणा में बहुत बुरा हुआ भक्तों के साथ.” He suggested that Nadda’s appearance as BJP’s face is a clear indicator of the party’s decline in Haryana.

Another user, D (@Deb_livnletliv), commented on the clear shift in strategy, “When you see Nadda as the face of BJP, you know the tables have turned and loss is written clearly all over the place.”

Many netizens have also shared memes, ridiculing the absence of Modi’s image and highlighting how Nadda becomes the fall guy during tough times.

The video and subsequent online discussion have brought attention to the BJP’s strategy of promoting PM Modi’s image during winning streaks and shifting focus to other party leaders, like JP Nadda, when defeat looks clear.

Kannur(Kerala) (PTI): Govindachamy, a notorious convict serving life term in the sensational 2011 Soumya murder case, was on Saturday shifted to the Viyyur central jail in Thrissur district of Kerala, a day after he broke out of Kannur prison and was caught several hours later.

The order to shift Govindachamy alias Govindaswamy (41), who is missing his left hand, to Viyyur came late Friday night, but it was decided to move him in the morning, police said.

He was taken to Thrissur early Saturday morning amidst heavy security, it said.

Govindachamy broke out of Kannur Central Jail on Friday between 4.15 am and 6.30 am and was caught from within the city limits by around 9.30 am.

A case was registered in connection with his jailbreak and he was produced before a judicial magistrate and remanded to judicial custody for 14 days.

Following the jailbreak, three prison officers of Kannur Central Jail were suspended with immediate effect, amidst allegations from various quarters that the convict had inside help in his escape.

The opposition Congress had slammed the government over the incident. It termed the government "incompetent" and alleged that "inside help" was provided for the jailbreak. It also demanded a CBI probe into the incident.

Soumya, a 23-year-old woman from Manjakkad near Shornur, was raped and murdered allegedly by Govindachamy while travelling on a passenger train from Ernakulam to Shornur on 1 February 2011. Govindachamy was convicted in this case.
