In a recent election rally in Gohana, Rahul Gandhi displayed a box of jalebis from ‘halwai’ Matu Ram, mentioning he tried the famous large jalebis in his car and messaged his sister, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, stating it was the best jalebi he ever had. Next, I informed Deepender and Bajrang Punia ji that this delicious treat should be shared with the entire world,” he mentioned to the crowd. Nevertheless, Rahul Gandhi’s concept was used as material for online harassers who argued that jalebis should be eaten immediately after being made, and not sold in distant locations.
Rahul had also stressed the idea that the jalebi from that specific shop should be distributed nationwide and should also be exported to create more job opportunities. Continuing, Rahul accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of ensnaring Matu Ram Ji in a chakravyuh through demonetisation, GST, and funding industrialists.
Afterwards, making a snide remark about Rahul Gandhi, the Haryana branch of the BJP mentioned that due to the Congress leader’s inability to attract the country’s focus, he found amusement in the large jalebis being prepared in Haryana. Nevertheless, Deepender Singh Hooda, a Congress MP, promptly replied, stating that his party would send Saini a box of jalebis when the Congress takes over the state government on October 8, the day of vote counting.
The BJP kept its promise to the Congress by presenting them with a box of jalebis. After the vote count ended, BJP delivered a box of jalebi to Rahul Gandhi’s home in New Delhi. On their social media account, the party posted a screenshot of a food delivery app, verifying the delivery of 1 kg of jalebi to the home of the Congress leader.
The Bhartiya Janta Party Haryana sent jalebi to Rahul Gandhi’s home on behalf of all its workers, as stated in the party’s post. BJP workers and chief ministers in other states celebrated by enjoying jalebis and sharing them with each other. Not only did BJP workers in other states indulge in feasting, but they also engaged in making jalebis. After the BJP’s win in Haryana, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma was spotted making jalebis as a gesture of joy.
Indeed, Jalebi was also dispatched by the BJP to the Congress in other states. A video posted on social media by Assam BJP worker Ron Bikash Gaurav showed a party worker entering the Congress office in the Lakhimpur district of the state, carrying a packet of jalebis as the votes in Haryana confirmed the BJP’s win.
After enjoying the adoration of netizens, BJP leaders also reveled in their victory on social media. When asked, one person stated that the party leaders had instructed them to come back because they were not achieving success in the assembly elections. He also mentioned that the party workers had given them the entire sum of money.
