BJP Deletes Tweet Jibe at Rahul Gandhi That 'Shows Nepal Against India'

The ruling party had attempted to poke fun at the Congress leader, through a cartoon.

Screenshots of a tweet by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) recently went viral on social media, evoking sharp responses online.

What's happening: The official Twitter account of the ruling party put out a cartoon that purportedly shows Nepal teaming up with China against India – and then later deleted the tweet.

• The caption, as well as the cartoon, appeared to be a political jibe aimed at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.

• A caricature of PM Modi gambling along with representatives of other countries can also be seen.

• The Quint was able to find a cached version of the deleted tweet.

What is wrong with BJP? Not only does it make the Prime Minister look like a rowdy gambler but it also portrays Nepal as a partner with China against India. Hatred for @RahulGandhi is making BJP commit serious blunders against the national interest. pic.twitter.com/f1x6meg9Lc
