With the first polling phase for #UpElections2017 drawing closer, Congress, Samajwadi Party and the herd of supporters leveraged a twitter trend to launch a scathing attack on party from all fronts with #bjp_भगाओ_up_बचाओ
The Huge social media success of BJP in General Elections 2014 opened up new avenues of political ambush for leading opposition parties across boundaries. While BJP might have missed out on their marketing mojo, the opposition has started taking the medium more seriously.
#bjp_भगाओ_up_बचाओ was trending for a considerable amount of time with contributors taking jibes at PM Modi and BJP ruled states. Right from #FekuModi creatives that depict the irony of PM Modi's tall claims to Jawab Dega UP that point out the inefficiencies from party at the centre to Bhartiya Jumla Party which resorts to satire for countering PM Modi's rhetorics.
Here's an example of how the alliance of Congress, Samajwadi Party and volunteers spread the word against one of their biggest competitors on the UP soil.

3. The crafty use of numbers to make sense?
GDP of a small state like Goa fell 10% under BJP rule. Imagine how it will ruin one of the biggest state of India. #BJP_भगाओ_UP_बचाओpic.twitter.com/OzVq04854n

Head to the #bjp_भगाओ_up_बचाओ to know more about this tactic from the opposition, though the impact of a twitter trend is short lived but it's enough to add up to consonace/dissonance of voters who are on the hunt for more information before making the decision to vote!
