Social media has been buzzing ever since the official Twitter handle of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) deleted one of its most controversial tweets on December 19, 2019.

This was allegedly tweeted by the party the day a country-wide protest hit the streets. The party allegedly deleted the tweet later.

Shortly after, TMC leader Derek O'Brien took a dig at the government and said: “The BJP IT cell can delete the tweet. But they can't delete what the Home Minister told the Parliament—'we will roll out the NRC in all States'.”

Many other Twitter users stated: “What’s done is done,” while others pointed out that the BJP’s Bengal page still had the tweet up.
