Why waste time when we’ve got an entire election to describe in memes? Let’s get to it right away.BJP: Baazigar with a TwistBJP’s Overall Result: Lose, but act like you’ve won!In Goa, Manipur and Meghalaya: Haar ke jeetne wale ko Baazigar nahi, BJP kehte hai!In Karnataka: Haar ke, phir jeet ke, phir haar ke, phir bhi jeetne ka acting karne wale ko... BJP kehte hai!No Confusion! The Karnataka Mandate Was Anti-Congress: Amit ShahYeddyurappa’s 55 Hours: A Triumphant True StoryAmit Shah: Lost (Not Just in Translation)To get the joke, watch this video.Amit Shah telling the media how the BJP *actually* won in Karnataka is like a Delhi Daredevils fan thinking they’ve won the IPL.PS: They’re out of the tournament.JD(S) Tum Aage Badho, Haath Tumhare Saath HaiCong’s Overall Result: Swipe right on Kumaraswamy, kaafi CM face hai! And it’s a match!Here’s Congress right after the election results.End result?Riddle time: Yeh batao, in the above picture, who is the king and who is the kingmaker? The Congress could not have come to power without JD(S)’ support. So that makes Kumaraswamy kingmaker, right? But hang on, Kumarswamy is the new Karnataka CM so is he the king and not the kingmaker? And he only got the post because DK Shivakumar ensured that the Congress and JD(S) MLAs did not cross sides, so that means Shivakumar is the real kingmaker? Right?Toh king kaun aur kingmaker kaun?Siddaramaiah: A Bitter VictoryFor Siddaramaiah, the man who went by the phrase “CM face of the Congress”, it’s a bitter victory. For his party to be part of the government, and for him to not be at the helm of it, you bet it’s gotta hurt. But he still ends on the winning side, if not as the Man of the Match!After All That Buffering, CM’s Office Goes Full HDJD(S)’ Overall Result: Bronze medal jeet ke gold le gaye!Talk about being third time lucky third and lucky.Look at this picture carefully. Who do you think has the last laugh?Before the Floor Test...Our parties: “Everybody, get on the floor.”Their parties: “Everybody, get on the floor (test).”Cue lyrics (Jennifer Lopez ft. Pitbull)“If you go hard you gotta get on the floorIf you're a party freak, then step on the floorBreak a sweat on the floorYeah we work on the floor”Apt, right?After the Floor Test: Akhil Bharatiya Fraaandship Party!Left, TMC, BSP, SP, baaki sab ka overall result: A chance for the opposition to rejoice, but chunav abhi baaki hai. T-minus 365 days to 2019 ka final.Swear in your CM, swear at your opponent?But seriously, Mr. Nirupam, that’s just a downright disgusting thing to say.Man of the Match?Now that we’ve listed the winners, losers and spectators, take your pick. Who do YOU think was the real Man of the Match?Option A: HD Kumaraswamy, CM jo ban gaye!Option B: DK Shivakumar, for being Congress’ Last ‘Resort’Option C: BS Yeddyurappa, for taking BJP so near yet so farOption D: The Supreme Court. ’Nuff said.Comment with your response!
