There is no clarity on who has the upper hand in the actual war but going online from a different part of the globe, it is interesting to see how Pakistan is able to dominate the narrative. India that can deploy millions of trolls to counter the slightest of insults...

Between 2014 and 2024, BJP has increased its vote share in Kerala by about 6%. #ElectionsResuts #Kerala #Thrissur
As of now, winning margin in Indore is less than the votes for NOTA. Interesting situation #ElectionsResults #Indore thehindu.com/data/election-r…
In #TamilNadu, BJP has so far eaten into the DMK vote share while AIADMK has not been affected much. Haven't converted a seat even with 7% gain though #ElectionsResults
