The latest Election Commission trends show the saffron party ahead in 45 of the 70 Assembly seats and AAP in 21.
One X user shared a meme depicting contestants ready for a race, with the BJP and AAP positioned toward the finish line while Congress is humorously shown heading in the opposite direction -- a sarcastic commentary on Congress' absence from the lead.
Adding to the humour, the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) took to X, posting, “According to sources Bhagwant Mann has blocked the phone number of Arvind Kejriwal.”
The meme parade continued with another image of an ‘upset’ Kejriwal with the caption: “AAP ka kya hoga Janab-e-Ali?”
The jest continued with a meme showing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi at a petrol station asking a customer to check zero, a pointed dig at his party for failing to secure even a single seat.
In a further display of satire, a meme circulated by Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) showed a video in which Kejriwal is seen challenging PM Modi, that he can't defeat AAP, at least not in this life.
Another meme depicted Delhi voters fervently hyping the BJP while illustrating the AAP struggling to stay afloat and the Congress figuratively underwater.
