Jalebi Trends on Social Media Following BJP's Victory in Haryana Elections

In a dramatic turn of events, BJP has secured its third consecutive term in Haryana, shocking Congress, which had initially led in the assembly polls. The victory sparked a wave of social media memes centered around “jalebi,” a sweet that became a symbol of celebration and mockery.

BJP supporters linked the term to Rahul Gandhi, who praised a local jalebi shop, suggesting it should be globally exported. His comments turned the sweet into a political issue, especially after Congress’s unexpected defeat.

In a celebratory spirit, BJP leaders shared pictures of themselves enjoying jalebi, emphasizing the treat’s connection to victory. Notably, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma and Gujarat BJP chief C.R. Paatil joined the trend by making jalebi, marking a light-hearted take on the electoral results.
