Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi brought a touch of levity to social media by sharing a humorous meme that featured him dancing, delighting his followers with this unexpected and playful post.
During the hectic Lok Sabha election period, Modi took a moment to engage with a light-hearted animated video posted on the social media platform X. The video depicted him dancing energetically on stage before an animated crowd.
The video’s creator humorously captioned, “I hope the dictator won’t arrest me for this,” Modi responded positively.
From his official X account, Modi shared the meme and commended the creator’s ingenuity, expressing his pleasure at such creative expressions during the election campaign. He remarked on the enjoyment of seeing himself represented in such a spirited and amusing way.
However, in a contrasting response highlighting the complex landscape of political humour in India, Kolkata police acted against a user who posted a similar animated video of Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal. This incident underlines the varying reactions to political satire and the sensitivities involved in portraying political figures humorously.
