In the political world, it’s nothing new to witness political leaders mocking each other and bringing each other down. However, there are some like Digvijay Singh who often ends up getting mocked on social media. Recently, the Congress leader became a laughing stock when he tried to take a dig at Shivraj Singh’s government in Madhya Pradesh. Here’s what happened!
Aiming at maligning BJP after the overbridge tragedy in Varanasi, Digvijay Singh tweeted a photo of a bridge which he believed was from Subhash Nagar Railway Phatak. In the tweet, he questioned the government’s work and even pointed out that the damaged bridge may lead to another mishap. Here’s what he tweeted:
यह है सुभाष नगर रेल्वे फाटक भोपाल पर बन रहे रेल्वे ओवर ब्रिज का एक पोल,जिसमें आ गई दरारे/क्रैक इसकी गुणवत्ता पर सवाल उठाती हैं,अभी तो पुल भी नही बना ।एक भाजपा नेता के मार्ग दर्शन निर्माण में हो रहा है ,फिर यह सब क्यों और कैसे ? वाराणसी की दुर्घटना यहॉं भी ना हो जाये। pic.twitter.com/oycXREebp0

However, the Congress leader was so busy raising his voice that he didn’t even check the source of the image. Later, it turned out that the photo was of Rawalpindi Metro Bus Pillar taken in Pakistan two years ago by an award-winning investigative journalist Adeel Raja.
Soon, Shivraj Singh Chouhan posted a tweet pointing out the blunder that Digvijay had made and Chouhan even took a dig that such scams only used to happen under the Congress’ rule.
पता नहीं इनको ऐसा क्यों लगा कि मध्यप्रदेश में आज भी उनके ज़माने जैसी धाँधलियाँ होती होंगी!
यह वह हैं जो ज़मीन पर तो छोड़िए, अपने ट्विटर हैंडल पर भी पूल ठीक से नहीं बना पाए। pic.twitter.com/3xhjKUoa5M
